Guns are used in more than half of intimate partner homicides. Keeping guns out of the hands of abusive partners is critical to saving lives.

Getting guns out of the hands of domestic abusers can save not only his partner's life, but also the lives of her family, friends and neighbors.

Three people were killed and two others were injured in a domestic violence shooting in Kenosha, WI.

According to Kenosha's Mayor Antaramian, two-thirds of Kenosha's homicides this year have been the result of domestic violence.

We must #DisarmDV.

"We fail victims and survivors of domestic violence the moment we choose to protect abusers — and their firearms — over the people being abused." – @lisabgeller

Yet another example of why we must #DisarmDV.

[The Consortium @Consortium_RBFP]

In this study, almost half of the #IPV/#DV survivors surveyed reported that their abusive ex-partners had threatened to shoot someone outside the relationship, and within those relationships they experienced more control, violence and stalking. https://t.co/z8InUCP0Oy #DisarmDV

[Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions @JHU_CGVS]

.@MeganGoldsby at @KCBSRadio interviews @EFSGV's @lisabgeller about her recent research into the strong links between domestic violence and mass shooting. https://t.co/2iojkgXHXW #DisarmDV

[Lisa Geller, MPH @lisabgeller]

Not only are most mass shootings related to domestic violence, but those with a DV connection had a higher case fatality rate than those unrelated to DV.

Read our findings here: https://t.co/6eZ4agsqw2

[Lisa Geller, MPH @lisabgeller]

Between 2014 and 2019, in 68.2% of mass shootings, the perpetrator either shot or killed at least one partner or family member or had a history of DV.

I spoke to the @sacbee_news's @CathieA_SacBee about our findings. #DisarmDV

Thank you @CarrieNBaker for highlighting our research on the role of domestic violence in mass shootings. #DisarmDV @MsMagazine https://t.co/bTsGWNwlFW

[The Alliance for Gun Responsibility @WaGunResponsib]

Domestic violence and firearms are a deadly combination. https://t.co/FmnQxa245O #DisarmDV

[Survivor Justice Action @sj_action]

"The research also found that domestic-violence-related mass shootings are associated with higher fatality rates than mass shootings unrelated to domestic violence." https://t.co/h79SFCyseS #DisarmDV #DVFacts

[Kris Brown | @KrisBrown.BradyUnited.org @KrisB_Brown]

As @NCADV's @ruthmglenn explains, it's vital that we #DisarmDV & keep guns away from domestic violence abusers.

Thank you to @SenBlumenthal & @RonWyden for leading the Lori Jackson–Nicolette Elias DV Survivor Protection Act.

Congress must pass this bill! https://t.co/p9EXGpmY2S

[Lisa Geller, MPH @lisabgeller]

We think about mass shootings in public places, and people are scared to go to the grocery store, they’re scared to go to concerts. But there are so many people who are scared to be in their own homes, and that often gets overlooked.

We must #DisarmDV.
