[Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg @ScVanValkenburg]

The first bill I will submit in the Senate is the safe storage legislation I’ve carried in the House. We can and must do more to keep our kids safe from gun violence.

The Governor should sign it when it passes the House and Senate.

16 year old transgender girl Brianna Ghey was ruthlessly murdered. Two 15 year olds have been arrested with her murder.

She should still be with us today.

She deserved to see transgender liberation.

I’m sorry they took that from you, Brianna.

MSU Police identified Alexandria Verner, a junior from Clawson, and Brian Fraser, a sophomore from Grosse Pointe, as two of the students murdered last night on campus – the place where they should've felt safe. God, I am so broken hearted by this. When will it stop!

This is a choice America makes.

It’s not bad luck. It’s not coincidence. It’s not predestined.

It’s a choice. And we can make a different choice.

Police have killed at least 3,530 people in the U.S. since 2020.

They kill Black people at disproportionate rates — nearly 300% more than white people — despite Black people being just around 14% of the U.S. population.

These are some of the unarmed people killed by police. 🧵

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

BREAKING: Illinois just passed the Protect Illinois Communities Act which BANS assault weapons. Here’s the bottom line: if you elect Democrats up and down the ticket, you see results. You see real progress. So proud to call Illinois my home state & hope other states do the same.

Each December, @nytmag dedicates an issue of the magazine to remembrances of notable people who have died during the year. It is called The Lives They Lived.

This year, we have dedicated the issue to 12 American kids who were killed by guns in 2022.

[Danielle Ivory @danielle_ivory]

Gun violence has recently surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for American children.

Last year was a particularly violent one: 3,597 children died by gunfire. The death rate from guns was the highest it has been in more than 20 years.

Whew. This statistic broke me all the way down.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

NEW: A mail carrier was shot and killed while delivering mail in Milwaukee tonight. Police say the 44-year-old man had over 18 years of service with the United States Postal Service. No arrests have been made.

[Nicole Hollywood @BuzzNicki]

Every day, more than 110 Americans are killed with guns & 200 more are shot and wounded.

As part of the #MomsAreEverywhere Grassroots Social Media Team, I use my voice, along with thousands of volunteers, to help create a safer future!

So proud of Virginia @MomsDemand volunteer and member of the Fairfax County School Board who is now running for a seat in the Virginia General Assembly. 💪💪💪 #vagov

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Wow. This thread and a related four part series in the @Oregonian.

Gun violence is now the leading cause of death among children in America. We are failing an entire generation just to appease a $1 billion industry that profits from death and chaos. https://t.co/P7cwakRNDc

So here are the two charts you need to win any argument over whether gun laws matter.

1. America, with more guns than any other high income nation, is a wild outlier of gun violence.

2. States with stronger gun laws have much less gun crime.
