Sending our thoughts and prayers @NRA

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Today, I joined our #GunOwnersForSafety in sending a letter to Congress urging them to block the repeal of ATF's regulation on stabilizing braces.

ATF's rule is not a ban—it's a commonsense regulation enforcing existing law. Congress should let ATF do its job.

It's getting worse, not better...Gun deaths among children and teens in the U.S. reached a new record in 2021, study finds https://t.co/t6AWovxXRd via @nbcnews @NewtownAction

Gun safety is a WINNING issue. The gun lobby's glory days are over.

If a lawmaker listens to the gun lobby over the will of the people, we will vote them out.

Make sure Congress hears you loud a clear—sign our petition telling them to do their jobs:

Most children who die from an accidental shooting are playing with guns at home or mistaking them for toys. Over 90% of guns used in such shooting deaths were left unlocked and loaded. Call Congress - [phone] - support Ethan's Law. https://t.co/sEDDpjveEq

Every day, 8 children and teens are unintentionally injured or killed with an improperly stored gun.

Thank you @RepMaxineWaters for cosponsoring Ethan’s Law to #KeepKidsSafe.

Call your Members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor the bill [phone]

VICTORY: Senate Democrats just defeated the gun lobby's attempt to overturn ATF's regulation on pistol braces.

Americans would all be safer if Republicans would stop working for the gun industry and start passing commonsense gun safety legislation.

24 years ago today, Wayne LaPierre—who's STILL the CEO despite running the NRA into the ground amid scandal & bankruptcy—testified to Congress in support of universal background checks.

In case you need another reminder: the NRA doesn't actually stand for anything except profit.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Look it’s the NRA testifying that we need universal background checks 24 years ago. Back when they actually supported responsible gun ownership and not irresponsible salesmanship. Background checks are common sense- the NRA knows it.

Firearm injury is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the US

Thank you @RepSummerLee & @RepGabeVasquez for cosponsoring Ethan’s Law and honoring Anthony & Schammiel with action.

This morning I read the messages I receive after mass shootings. These are from students, parents, & teachers who are scared for their lives & are demanding we do something.

I know my colleagues across the aisle get these too. Do they care? Is their inaction worth the NRA money?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It's hard to argue with the data.

More guns = more gun deaths
