September 9th is #FirearmSuicidePreventionDay. Over half of all gun deaths in America are suicides. By working together to store guns safely, we can #EndFamilyFire and save lives. www.bradyunited.org/act/firearm-...

A child knocking on your door is not a threat. If your response is to reach for a gun and shoot, you’ve failed the basic standard of responsible gun ownership. Guns demand care, training, and accountability—especially when kids’ lives are at stake. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

It has been six years since seven people were killed and 25 people were injured in a mass shooting in the Midland and Odessa, Texas. Call your members of Congress (202) 224-3121 and urge them to cosponsor the bill to #BanAssaultWeapons.

Faith Without Works

Republicans have decided that their political careers are so important that the gruesome deaths of children are a small price to pay.

Colorado Ceasefire just spent two great days with the Ute Mountain Ute community talking about gun violence, its causes, and how to prevent it! If you'd like us to present to your school or organization, contact us! ow.ly/2yah50WByWO

As of today, Colorado parents will receive gun violence prevention materials from your child’s school. House Bill 25-1270 requires the state to develop and post those materials online so schools can share them. Colorado Ceasefire worked to help pass this bill!

Colorado Ceasefire is partnering with the Ute Mountain Ute community to stop gun violence. If you live in southwest Colorado, gather with us on Aug. 5 and 6! First 50 RSVPS enter a raffle for free gift cards. More details and RSVP HERE: ow.ly/abPe50WsTR6

Colorado Ceasefire remembers the 13 lives lost in the Aurora Theater Shooting in 2012. We promise to keep working to make senseless deaths like these a thing of the past. 9News is featuring portraits of the victims written by loved ones at the time: ow.ly/Vv0N50WskX7

This is devastating news for LGBTQ+ youth everywhere. But you are not alone, and there are organizations on your side. There are still resources that can help. - The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - @trevorproject.bsky.social , 1-866-488-7386 - Visit bradyunited.org/support

ICYMI: Due to the Trump administration’s budget cuts, the federal LGBTQ youth suicide prevention hotline will shut down TODAY.

JUST IN: As part of our @thisisourlane.bsky.social initiative chaired by @josephsakran.bsky.social, we are proud to partner with marketing agency dentsu health for a six-figure ad campaign encouraging healthcare professionals to prevent tragedies by asking patients about firearm access & safety. 🧵

Gun violence is down 31% nationwide in part because of community-based programs that intervene before violence starts. These programs are now under attack. Sign this petition and help protect what’s working. win.newmode.net/communityvio...

Carolyn McCarthy, Who Turned a Gunman’s Massacre Into a Crusade, Dies at 81 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/n...

Colorado Ceasefire helped pass the Voluntary Do Not Sell Firearms Waiver (Donna's Law), to help people in crisis stay safe until they find help. But your donations are needed to help get the program up and running! Please find out more: ow.ly/A8cG50WfPLc #EndGunViolence #SafeCommunities

We have the very same question.

If you haven’t heard about the Trump administration’s efforts to loosen gun policy, that is by design. The crusade is deliberately being kept below the radar because the administration knows these actions are DEEPLY unpopular. Read more in my latest @usnews.com op-ed.

Please remember Wear Orange Day, June 5th at Clement Park. See you there!

Thank you to these representatives who cosponsored H.R.1307! We urge Members of Congress to help #EndGunViolence by cosponsoring the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act. Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

In the nearly 18-hour markup of the GOP tax-cut bill in the @waysmeanscmte, I denounced the inclusion of a $1.4 billion tax break to make gun silencers cheaper to buy! VIDEO: youtu.be/BK8NgpO9vn4 /1

Ooh, jeez, sorry, we've got a THING that day... Yeah. Be sure and say hi to Kyle for us tho, k?

The day after the October 1, 2017 shooting in Las Vegas, the new pope Leo XIV retweeted Senator Murphy’s tweet that called out his Republican colleagues for being cowards & not passing gun control measures. The gunman used AR15s & bump stocks to kill 60 & wound >400 others who were at the concert.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is right: The DOJ’s cuts to mental health and community violence intervention grants are cruel and illogical. We should be working to keep our kids safe from gun violence, not cutting lifesaving resources.

400 million civilian owned guns in the U.S. have not made us safer. Guns are rarely used for self defense. Guns in our homes double the risk for homicides & triple the risk for suicides. #GunsDontMakeUsSafer

With 12 bills passed, it's been a record-breaking year for gun violence prevention in CO! Come celebrate and help us keep up this work at our 25th Anniversary Gala! coloradoceasefire.org/purchase-tic...

📞 Make your voice heard! Call your Members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor Senator Hirono’s bill to ban high-capacity magazines. #EndGunViolence

Today, I signed bill SB25-003 into law, and I want to address some common myths so everyone understands what this means for our community.

Last week Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 3 into law. Great win against gun violence in CO! #enoughisenough

Check out this great podcast from GVPedia on the National Concealed Carry bill in Congress—and why its such a messed-up idea. armedwithreason.substack.com/p/armed-with...

Last night, HB-1232, allowing lawsuits against property owners and operators who ban guns from their property, was defeated. That is the 3rd #BADGUNBILL #COCeasefire has helped defeat this year! We will not stop fighting to protect the gains we've made to keep Coloradans safe.

President Trump spent a great deal of his 90 minute speech talking about addressing crime, but not once did he mention the public health crisis of gun violence that claims over 100 lives every day. So who exactly is he trying to protect?

SHAME: Trump’s latest attack on veterans comes in the form of massive personnel cuts from the Department of Veterans Affairs. There will reportedly be over 80,000 employees let go—a move that threatens the VA’s ability to provide life-saving support to at-risk veterans.

More than 80 members of Congress signed onto the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force's letter raising grave concerns about Kash Patel serving as acting director of ATF. President Trump must name a director who is qualified to oversee our federal gun laws and will work to keep us safe.

The impact of federal layoffs and cuts to mental health resources goes beyond economics. When social safety nets collapse, the risk of suicide rises. Financial hardship, uncertainty, and loss of purpose take a deep mental toll. 🧵 ⤵️

Happy to announce that yesterday, HB1164, which would have allowed permitless concealed carry, was defeated in committee. Wonder why that's good news? Have a look:

GOOD NEWS: Demolition Ranch—a popular YouTube channel filled with toxic gun content—announced it will shut down later this year. Among the channel’s worst videos are those exploring which bullets are capable of doing the most damage to human targets.

Goodbye, Anne Marie. Thank you for the courage, the resilience, and the inspiration. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Donald Trump oversaw the largest increase in murders ever recorded. The Biden-Harris Administration oversaw a historic decrease in violent crime—bringing it to a near 50-year-low. Trump attempting to undo the bipartisan progress they made on gun safety puts us all at risk.

From GunViolenceArchive.org: Real-time U.S. gun violence statistics for 2025, as of Feb. 10: •1,531 gun deaths •2,562 gun injuries •32 mass shootings •1 mass murder •78 children (0-11) shot •346 teenagers (12-17) shot •125 defensive use incidents •133 unintentional shootings •56 murder-suicides

Donald Trump waited until Friday night to issue an Executive Order rolling back lifesaving gun measures because he knows it will be incredibly unpopular. Call your Senators & Representatives and have them tell AG Pam Bondi not to put our kids' lives at risk:📱(202) 224-3121

The Trump White House is alleging to have just "dismantled gun control" with its new executive order. That's not what happened. An objective review of gun violence prevention measures will show only what we already know: They're consistent w/ the Second Amendment, they're bipartisan, & they work.

Trump will have more blood on his hands.

🚨The NSSF exploited data on firearm owners without their consent to help elect Donald Trump and extremist Republicans. Gun lobby CEOs don't care about gun owners. They only care about lining their pockets, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

#COCeasefire was out in force at the #50501 #resist rally downtown today. Great to see so much energy and hope along with the outrage. if you were there and you didn't meet us, join the fight here: ow.ly/qBUX50UUy42

RECKLESS: The Fifth Circuit ruled that the federal law prohibiting licensed gun dealers from selling handguns to individuals under 21 is unconstitutional. This decision comes from the same court that wanted to give domestic abusers under restraining orders the right to have guns.

Nearly 46,000 Americans die from gun violence every single year. Gun violence IS a public health crisis, and Americans deserve a health secretary who will treat it as such. RFK Jr. is not the person for the job. Just look at how he answered questions that are an easy yes 👇

So, this happened. Next stop Supreme Court... www.reuters.com/legal/us-ban...
