Turning the PROBLEM into PURPOSE to address gun violence in a new way.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

5 more innocent lives were taken by 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza using an AR-15 last night in Texas. After his neighbors asked him to stop shooting guns in his yard, he went over to their house and killed 5 people, including an 8-year-old child. Two other children were saved by women who used their bodies as shields.

This won't end until our legislators say "enough is enough." No, common sense gun laws and an assault weapons ban won't prevent every killing, but if it saves one life, it's worth it. If you don't think banning some of these commonly used weapons will prevent death, you are misleading yourself.

I get the 2nd Amendment argument but that doesn't apply here.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't say certain guns can't be banned.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't mean that all gun sales in America can't require background checks.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't prevent mental health checks for owning a firearm.

It's time for action!

Brands will help defend our country from gun violence, while politicians offer no NEW ideas. Wait for it.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. While we stayed home during the pandemic, domestic violence rates went up. Every 16 hours, a woman is shot and killed by a current or former partner. Ending domestic violence is a part of ending gun violence.

A sad sign for our country. Businesses now need to carry ACTIVE SHOOTER INSURANCE POLICIES. https://t.co/4NPeeikzOJ

Barely back to school and here we go again. We need to end the random gun violence in the U.S.

[New Yorkers Against Gun Violence @NYAGV1]

We did it! Yesterday, after intensive lobbying by @NYAGV1 , @youthoverguns and our members, @NYGovCuomo enacted a groundbreaking law that will finally allow #newyorkers to hold the gun industry accountable for the reckless practices that cause so much harm to our communities.

I am receiving reports from people I know of a shooting with multiple victims at a Publix on Okeechobee in Palm Beach. If near the area, stay away!!!!

The devastation homicide inflicts on black teens and adults is a national crisis, yet it is all too often ignored outside of affected communities. Read our study, “Black Homicide Victimization in the United States,” to learn more: https://t.co/B0293PM87G

This week's been hard, watching all of the graduation parties & last night attending graduation to collect a "shadow box." Now, I need to prepare myself for Fathers Day. Not looking for sympathy, looking for help. Let's send a message with 1,000,000 RT's of #DadsForGunSafety.

As #WearOrange comes to a close, I pledge to #HonorWithAction. As a teen I was raped at gun point. One year later my closest friend took his own life with that very same gun. I will always stand with survivors and will fight with everything I have to #EndGunViolence @MomsDemand

Today should have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 24th birthday.

On January 29th, 2013, she was shot & killed on a playground in Chicago.

Her mother started #WearOrange to honor Hadiya & other victims of gun violence.

Her younger brother is part of @GKMC18 & fights to end violence.
