"It's time to decide if it's more important to protect the profits of gun manufacturers or the lives of our children." -@NYCMayor, #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns co-chair
"We are here because we cannot and must not hide from the harsh truth: gun violence is destroying communities around the country." -@gregoryjackson, Executive Director of @CJACTIONFUND
"It is often said that a good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun. Aaron was a good guy and was no match for what he went up against: a legal AR-15 with multiple high capacity magazines. He had no chance." -Joseph Gramaglia, Buffalo, New York Police Commissioner

Inaction on our gun violence crisis is unacceptable.
We cannot continue this way, and we will not allow our elected officials to look away. #DontLookAway
Firearms are the second leading cause of death among children and teens in Texas. Despite this, Texas lawmakers further weakened the state’s gun laws by passing permitless carry, allowing people to carry loaded handguns in public with no background check and no safety training.
The shooting at Timberview High School in Arlington today comes on the heels of a record number of gunfire incidents on school grounds during the 2021 back-to-school period, according to new data from @Everytown. https://t.co/2fSUDu76VM

Violence against women, fueled by misogyny, racism & fetishization—and enabled by guns—has plagued the U.S. for generations. And since the COVID-19 pandemic's start, there's been a rise in violence against the AAPI community at large, particularly against AAPI women.

Congratulations, President @JoeBiden and Vice President @KamalaHarris! We cannot wait to work alongside you both to fight for a future free from gun violence. #Inauguration2021
IT’S OFFICIAL: Gun sense champions @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris have just been sworn into office! With President Biden and Vice President Harris at the helm, gun safety has a clearer path at the federal level. #Inauguration2021
Articles of Impeachment for introduction, so proud of everyone co-leading this effort with us.
We need to move quickly to remove this President from office.
THIS IS BIG: With the election of @ReverendWarnock and Jon @Ossoff, we’ll have a #GunSenseMajority in the U.S. Senate! This means lifesaving gun safety legislation, like background checks on all gun sales, has a clearer path to becoming law and saving more American lives!
