Beyond medical bills, many mass shooting survivors struggle with PTSD and grief that make even walking a dog or going to the movies into colossal challenges, @c_thesavage reports for @AP: https://t.co/A7uGOvI6fl

[Daniel W. Webster @DanielWWebster1]

This new study adds to a growing body of evidence linking requirements for a license or permit to purchase handguns with less gun violence and diversion of guns for use in crime. Fewer guns in risky situations that police encounter translates to fewer police shootings. @DrCrifasi

Highly recommend this series on debunking the defensive gun use myth by @armedwithreason

Defensive gun use surveys tend to rely on self-reported responses without further investigation.

Many reported defensive gun uses are actually offensive uses...

[Everytown @Everytown]

The US gun suicide rate is nearly 12 times that of other high-income countries. These tragedies are preventable.

This Friday on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, join Americans across the country and #WearOrange to bring attention to America’s gun violence crisis.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

BREAKING: There are reports of a mass shooting on Hollywood Beach in Florida. According to CBS, at least seven people were shot and some of the victims are young children.

Permitless carry became law in the state in April.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Holiday weekend gun violence, brought to you by:
weak gun laws,
the NRA,
and every GOP in the #FLLeg that helped pass permitless carry this year.

Once again: Weakening gun laws does not make us safer.

"Highlighting the problem [of gun violence] is important, but it’s also important to think about how we make things better."

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

One year ago today, 19 children and two teachers never came home from Robb Elementary in Uvalde.

Families were heartbroken. The nation was shattered.

So we all stood up and ended 26 years of federal inaction. It wasn’t enough, but my life will always be devoted to this cause.
