A gunman opened fire at a wedding in New Hampshire, killing one and injuring several others. It’s heartbreaking that a joyful occasion turned into tragedy because a dangerous person had access to a dangerous weapon. This is the reality of a country that refuses to act. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/u...

Gun violence at our schools is on the rise 🚨🚨🚨 But it doesn’t need to be this way. Over 4 million kids in America live in homes with at least one loaded and unsecured firearm. These guns far too often end up in backpacks and in classrooms—causing terror and harm. Safe storage can prevent this

🚨 Gun violence kills nearly 5,300 Latinos every year—and Latino youth are disproportionately impacted. That’s why GIFFORDS is launching a Latino Advisory Council to guide our work, uplift survivor voices, and fight for a safer future. 📅 Tues, Sept. 23 at 2 pm. Join us: giffords.org/LACLaunch

Gregory Jackson, the former deputy director of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, knows that being tough on crime requires investment in our communities and the ATF—not creating chaos and harassing innocent people in our cities. We agree.

Three police officers were killed and two were wounded yesterday in Pennsylvania when a suspect opened fire. Police had just arrived to serve a warrant for a domestic-related incident. No one is safe in a country where dangerous people can so easily access guns —not even our law enforcement.

Earlier this week, a court struck down Florida’s ban on open carry 🚨🚨🚨 This means that anyone can now carry a gun in public in FL without a background check or training—no questions asked. It’s a threat to every Floridian’s safety.

13 people were injured this week in shootings at two separate homeless encampments in Minneapolis. Everyone deserves to live without fear of being shot where they sleep, work, worship, or learn. We need leaders who will step up and keep us safe.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the contributions, culture, and history of the Hispanic community—one that is disproportionately impacted by gun violence.

In their new op-ed, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social and former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake urge our leaders to rise above partisanship and come together to reject political violence. We can’t let this moment pass without action. Read more 👇

ICYMI: Last week, House Republicans advanced the FIREARM Act, which would put rogue dealers who’ve broken the law back in business. It’s nothing short of a get-out-of-jail-free card for gun dealers who are endangering our communities.

Political violence doesn’t stop with one political party. Neither does America’s gun violence crisis. As @gabbygiffords.bsky.social and former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake say in @usatoday.com: Some moments are too important for partisanship. This is one of them.

Armed extremism is not inevitable. It is a policy choice. The assassinations of Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman—like all acts of gun violence—were preventable. Extremists will keep exploiting loopholes in our gun laws until our leaders act.

Political violence is never the answer. Ever. Far too often we see these attacks against leaders of both political parties. In a country where we have easy, unfettered access to guns, it’s no surprise these attacks often involve firearms. It’s time for bold, unified action.

From political figures to first graders, America’s gun violence crisis puts us all in danger. But we can stop this. Our elected officials must reject the gun lobby and close loopholes that make it appallingly easy for dangerous people to access guns.

This summer, America has seen multiple politically-motivated assassinations—first of a Democratic legislator, now of a Republican activist—because dangerous people turned to guns to express their disagreements.

Breaking: At least two students were shot at Evergreen High School in Colorado. We are holding every student, teacher, and staff in our hearts as our country confronts yet another senseless act of violence. t.co/fTGr8aIwkN

🚨🚨🚨 House Republicans voted late last night to advance a dangerous bill to cut critical funding for lifesaving gun violence prevention programs and research. Why? Because their gun lobby donors told them to. This will make us all less safe.

MUST WATCH: @delauro.house.gov fights to protect critical funding for gun violence prevention research 👏👏👏 We couldn’t have said it better: It’s time for House Republicans to stop playing partisan games and start putting the safety of our kids and communities first.

14-year-old Deshoune Pope went to his friend’s house last weekend and never came home. He got a hold of an unsecured gun and unintentionally shot himself in the eye, later dying from his injuries. Deshoune had a big heart and was beloved by so many.

Donald Trump claims to care about crime, but has dismantled programs proven to save lives. All the while he’s deploying the National Guard—an expensive and ineffective show of force. It’s a laughable approach.

More than 700 women are shot to death by intimate partners each year. Millions more are injured or threatened. Domestic violence is an epidemic. Our president should fight for our safety, not dismiss domestic violence as “a little fight.”

12-year-old Sophia Forchas—who was shot at Annunciation Catholic School—remains in intensive care with a bullet lodged in her brain. We’re holding Sophia’s family in our hearts and working with advocates across the country to ensure no other family ever experiences this pain.

This is Malia Kimbrell. Her nine-year-old daughter—Vivian St. Clair—was shot three times at Annunciation Catholic School last week. She’s demanding lawmakers prove they care about our kids with real action. Because thoughts and prayers are not enough.

After the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, RFK Jr. went on Fox News to blame the cause of school shootings on antidepressants. Now he’s lying about it. Spreading myths after tragedy is reckless. We need solutions that keep kids safe — not excuses that protect the gun lobby.

One year ago, 2 students & 2 teachers were killed at Apalachee High School. This senseless shooting should never have been allowed to happen. Georgia leaders should be standing up for the safety of our children and communities, not making it easier for tragedy to strike again by weakening gun laws.

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...

The students that survived the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and their families will forever carry the trauma of this day with them. We’ll always work to build the safer future they deserve so that they can learn and pray free from gun violence.

This week, gun violence once again devastated innocent families — making clear that the stakes are too high not to act. To reestablish a gun safety majority in the Senate next fall and get things done, we need champions like @corybooker.com leading the fight.

Eight-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski were killed Wednesday in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church. They should both still be here.

Our children’s lives must always come first. But the gun lobby wants you to believe we need to choose between our kids and our freedoms. That’s not true—we can protect both. Commonsense gun laws go hand-in-hand with our Second Amendment rights.

Gun violence is the number one killer of kids in America. Thoughts and prayers alone have never been, and never will be enough to keep them safe. We can’t let another child experience the trauma of gun violence. Text COURAGE to 34131 to join us in the fight today.

Today, the children at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews. Thoughts and prayers are NOT enough. We need immediate and comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s what saves lives.

We’re devastated to learn that two children—aged eight and 10— were killed in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. 17 others were injured, including 14 children—two in critical condition. Our hearts are with their families as they face this unbearable tragedy.

Today in Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, school started at 8am. Mass began at 8:15am. A gunman opened fire at 8:30am. 20 people were shot and at least two are confirmed dead. This shouldn’t be normal.

BREAKING: A man with a rifle opened fire at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, home to a K–8 school. Multiple casualties reported. For children who just started their very first week of school, the sound they’ll remember is gunfire. This is horrifying.

Two years ago today, a white supremacist shot and killed three people at a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida. Racist hate and easy access to guns is a fatal combination. As we hold the victims & survivors in our hearts, we urge our leaders to honor their lives with action and disarm hate.

Last week, 3 people—including a 4-year-old—were shot & killed at a Target in Austin, TX. A red flag law could’ve prevented the suspected shooter from accessing a gun, but TX doesn’t have one. We know how to prevent these tragedies. Our leaders must act.

VICTORY: We are suing Glock for selling semiautomatic handguns they know can easily be converted into illegal machine guns. A court ruled that our suit can move forward. The gun industry is not above the law. This is a major win for public safety in Minnesota.

BREAKING: Villanova University is on lockdown after reports of an active shooter on campus. VU’s Class of 2029 had barely settled in after Move-In yesterday before being confronted a school shooting’s terror. We’re praying for the safety of those impacted. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/v...

Governor Ron DeSantis chose to erase a tribute to the 49 lives taken at Pulse. Instead of vandalizing memorials, Florida leaders should focus on preventing more families from experiencing this kind of loss.

The Trump administration is telling criminals they can ignore the law and walk around DC with AR-15s. That's the opposite of "law abiding gun owners." This is what happens when you care more about sucking up to gun industry CEOs than enforcing the law and reducing crime.

The gun lobby has bought a number of extreme Republicans in Congress—and Rep. Ciscomani is one of their biggest allies. He takes their money, then opposes common-sense reforms that would save lives. Yesterday in Tucson, we joined @stopbigmoneyaz.bsky.social & local leaders to hold him accountable.

Parents in Tucson and across America are worried about sending their kids to school. So we joined @endcitizensunited.bsky.social, @azagmayes.bsky.social and @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social to demand action. Every child deserves to learn without fear of gunfire. www.kgun9.com/news/communi...

Three people were killed and eight others were wounded early this morning after a dispute broke out at a crowded Brooklyn nightclub. Easy access to guns turn dangerous situations deadly. Our hearts are with all those impacted.

Officer David Rose was shot and killed last week by a gunman who fired more than 200 shots at the federal government’s CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Donald Trump still hasn’t said a single thing. Our police and public servants deserve better.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, but Juan Ciscomani puts gun industry CEO profits above the safety of Arizona families. He's backed cuts to law enforcement & weakened background checks on guns. We must hold him accountable.

The Austin Target shooting left a community reeling, with experts warning of lasting trauma. But the Trump Administration's $1 billion cut to mental health funding will make recovery harder. In moments like this, we must invest in care—not rip it away.

So this is literally insane. DC’s US Attorney Jeanine Pirro doesn’t think defunding gun violence prevention efforts has anything to do with gun crime.

BREAKING: Multiple people have been shot & killed at a Target in Austin, Texas. Others are injured, including a child. We don’t even have time to grieve in between mass shootings in America. Our hearts are with all those impacted in yet another tragedy.

If Donald Trump actually cared about safety in DC—or across the US—he'd champion national policies to stop gun crime. DC is helpless as guns flow in from states that refuse to close loopholes. This cheap stunt will succeed in making headlines, but fail to make DC safer.
