"Having a gun in the home increases the chance for accidental injury, homicide, and suicide, all of which have been shown to outweigh the potential protective benefits of firearms." https://t.co/a0kysLxfkv

ICYMI: Last week, we launched Giffords Center for Violence Intervention with a commitment to unlock $2 billion for violence intervention strategies nationwide.

These programs—and the people who power them—are critical to saving lives.

Trans homicides increased by 93% from  2017 to 2021 (from 29 incidents in 2017 to 56 incidents in 2021).

73% of these people were killed with a gun.

@DeborahBogen's tragically beautiful poem "Cemetery" is up today at BulletsIntoBells..com. https://t.co/DQihStZeWp

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

The families in Uvalde should not have to beg the governor to act after their children were killed in the sixth major mass shooting to happen on his watch.

Abbott won't lead, but these incredible families continue to lead in his place. Let's vote him out and keep our kids safe.

Kathleen Aguero's "At Sixteen Months: Brown & Gold" is this week's poem at BulletsIntoBells. https://t.co/aI6uW059UL It originally appeared in her sixth book, World Happiness Index (Tiger Bark Press). #EndGunViolence #Enough #BulletsIntoBells

[Everytown @Everytown]

Firearm suicide in America is a crisis that claims an average of 65 lives a day. We have a firearm suicide rate 12 times that of peer nations—but not because people in other countries don't struggle with suicidal crises.

Interrupting gun access can prevent these deaths. 🧵

First, law enforcement told Abbott that his extreme idea to allow people to carry loaded guns in public without a background check, training, or permit would make us LESS safe.

Then, he ignored them and made it law.

Now, we're less safe as mass shootings in Texas are up by 62%.

On the anniversary of #SandyHook, revisiting Natalie Barden as she reflects on the tragedy, #MarchforOurLives, and why she still fights for gun violence prevention: https://t.co/CIZWT3pEgD

[Newtown Action Alliance ❌👑 @NewtownAction]

There have been no substantive federal gun laws passed after the #SandyHook tragedy & now 109 people die from guns every single day. Call your Congressional Reps at 202-224-3121 to demand action. Ask them to pass these common sense gun laws NOW! https://t.co/yCWMSnTza4

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Six years ago, after the horrific, senseless, preventable shooting at #SandyHook, @MomsDemand began fiercely and fearlessly taking on the most powerful lobby this nation has ever seen – and we are winning. We have become the David to the @NRA’s Goliath.
