“Aggressive driving happens in every country in the world, but only in this country is someone shot and injured or killed every 18 hours in a road rage incident and the difference is easy access to guns." - Sarah @BurdSharps nbcchicago.com/news/local/sub…

Last week, Chicago filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against Glock—the nation’s leading producer of pistols. Alla Lefkowitz, Managing Director of Affirmative Litigation for Everytown Law and counsel for Chicago, weighs in on its significance on @CNN.
Our schools should be sanctuaries of safety. No other country allows senseless, preventable gun violence to plague their classrooms over and over again. Today we hold the victims, survivors, and the entire Covenant School community in our hearts—and we honor them with action.

An alarming new trend has stoked fear in communities across the country: Shootings at bus stops and on buses. In one week in March alone, there were at least three incidents. Only in America do you have to worry about being shot while waiting for the bus. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

The memory of what happened at Marjory Stoneman Douglas will never be erased. Inspired by the community's courage, let us find it within ourselves to do more. We know what works: Universal background checks. Red flag laws. An assault weapons ban. Now, legislators must act.
Research shows that while the federal ban on assault weapons was in effect from 1994-2004, mass shooting deaths were 70% less likely to occur. Congress passed a bipartisan assault weapons ban before, they can—and must—do it again. Take action today: etwn.us/3TjHSln

.@Everytown study shows what we've known all along: #GunLawsSaveLives. If all states followed CA's #gunsafety laws, nearly 300,000 lives could be saved over the next 10 years. Last year, over 40,000 people died from #gunviolence. Let's end the violence! cnn.it/3S714DB

This morning, @HouseGVP met with leaders from @bradybuzz, @CJACTIONFUND, @Everytown, and @GIFFORDS_org to discuss efforts to reduce gun violence, protect law enforcement, and advocate for responsible gun ownership.
Mia did incredible as usual on her panel at @sxsw . Her tragic story no matter how many times she’s told it, moves everyone in the room. This group with @NorthwellHealth are moving the needle to find REAL solutions to gun violence! 🧡💪🏼
