HEARTBREAKING: Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland died early this morning by apparent gun suicide. He was only 24 years old. America’s suicide crisis is a gun crisis. Our hearts are with Marshawn’s family as they grieve this tragic loss.

From establishing the nation’s first gun violence prevention task force following the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School to championing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, @pelosi.house.gov has always worked to build a safer future for all. We’re grateful for her leadership.

Eight years ago today, a gunman killed 26 people and injured 22 others at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Nearly half of the victims were children—the youngest being just 17 months old.

Gun safety wins elections. Last night’s overwhelming victories proved exactly that. We’re proud to have supported so many fierce gun safety champions on the campaign trail who won important races last night. With their leadership, we know a safer future is possible.

Virginians have once again established a gun safety stronghold across the commonwealth! With the wins in the House of Delegates and the election of gun safety champion Governor-elect Spanberger, a safer future is finally within reach.

🚨 Mainers have voted to pass a red flag law, which will allow family members to petition courts to remove firearms from a loved one in danger. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/11/04/p...

Congratulations to the next governor of New Jersey, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, on your major victory! Governor-elect Sherrill is a true public servant who has always fought for her community. We look forward to continuing to work with her to protect & expand NJ's lifesaving gun safety laws.

Congrats Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com on your decisive win! Virginians made it clear that they are sick & tired of gun safety bills being blocked by Governor Youngkin. They demanded change at the ballot box, & now will finally have a governor who puts public safety ahead of partisanship.

After years of corrupt spending, the NRA is forced to restructure, discontinue publications, and furlough dozens of staff. The NRA is floundering.

The Trump administration is decimating public health and safety services—and domestic violence survivors are paying the price. https://19thnews.org/2025/10/domestic-violence-protections-federal-funding/

Trump has done nothing to try to end this disruptive government shutdown. Instead, he’s got his hands full tearing down the East Wing for his $300 million ballroom, going after his political enemies, and posting AI-generated videos of himself dressed like a king.

Safety is on the ballot in New Jersey, & the choice for governor is clear. Rep. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social is a gun safety champion who has always put service to her country and community first. Meanwhile, her opponent Jack Ciattarelli is an extremist who puts partisan politics over public safety.

“As a teacher, I especially think about the troubling link between domestic violence and gun violence.” #GunViolence #Enough @teachersunify.bsky.social

Stand your ground laws encourage people to shoot first and ask questions later. It’s a license to kill that makes all of us less safe. These legally sanctioned killings are on the rise and must be stopped.

VICTORY: The Trump admin must restore the school mental health grants they illegally cut 👏 These cuts left students —especially those in Black & brown communities—more vulnerable to gun violence. Our kids will be safer with these resources back in place.

Virginia and New Jersey: Election day is ONE week away 🚨🚨🚨 Gun safety champions like @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social have always put public safety first, and will continue to serve their communities with grit and compassion as their state’s next governors.

Seven years ago today, a white supremacist shot and killed 11 people and injured six others at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.

The Republican shutdown is delaying survivors from the shooting in Lewiston, Maine from seeking justice and accountability. Once again, the Trump administration is hurting survivors of gun violence with its reckless decisions.

From banning assault weapons to closing the state’s ghost gun loophole, Minnesotans are ready to pass commonsense gun laws that can prevent tragedies like the state saw this summer. We’re proud to join @dfl.org and @governorwalz.mn.gov in this fight.

HORRIFIC: Two people were killed and at least seven others are in critical condition after a mass shooting earlier today at a large party in North Carolina. Over 150 people ran from the scene, fleeing for their lives. We don’t have to live this way.

Two years ago today, 18 people were killed in a shooting rampage at a local bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, Maine. Thirteen others were injured in the attacks. Today and always, our hearts are with the victims, survivors, their families, and the entire Lewiston community.

12-year-old Sophia Forchas has been released from the hospital almost two months after she was shot in the head at Annunciation Catholic School. We’re so grateful Sophia is recovering and we’re keeping her and her family in our hearts.

SPOILER: They’ve gotten richer and more reckless.

Gun violence is the number one killer of children and teens in America and President Trump’s main priority is… building himself a $300 million ballroom.

20 years ago, Congress sold us out. They passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), giving the gun industry unheard of immunity for unsafe and irresponsible practices. Since then everything has gotten worse… except gun industry profits.

@abigailspanberger.com: ✅ Fought to pass background checks on all gun sales ✅ Supports red flag laws ✅ Voted for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act Winsome Earle-Sears is an extremist bought and paid for by the gun lobby. The choice for governor in Virginia this November is clear.

A pardoned January 6 rioter was arrested last weekend for threatening to “eliminate” House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. This is who Trump went to bat for: Violent extremists.

Heartbreaking: D’Uwan Morgan, 14, was fatally struck earlier this month by a stray bullet while playing video games in his bedroom. D’Uwan had his whole future ahead of him. Our hearts are with his family as they grieve this unimaginable tragedy.

Three people were injured yesterday after a dispute led to a shooting at Oklahoma State University. At least one of the victims is a student. Only in America are fights so often escalated by easy access to guns. This didn’t have to happen.

If Republicans cared about keeping Americans safe, they wouldn't close the government to avoid tackling surging health care costs. Their shutdown is interfering with critical resources needed to prevent gun violence, support survivors of domestic violence, and save lives.

ICYMI: Last week, a court blocked Glock’s attempt to dodge the law 👏👏👏 New Jersey alleges that for decades Glock has sold firearms they knew could easily be converted into illegal machine guns—and has done nothing to fix it.

Republicans slashed $1 TRILLION from Medicaid in the Republican budget bill and have shut down the government to avoid addressing skyrocketing insurance costs. Medicaid is the single largest insurer of gunshot patients, and without coverage even more Americans will die from gun injuries.

The government shutdown is undermining the Office on Violence Against Women 🚨🚨🚨 More than 100 of their 120 employees have been furloughed, bringing their lifesaving work to a halt. This will have devastating impacts on women across the nation.

The Trump admin is slashing resources from an already underfunded ATF, severely limiting their ability to combat gun crime. Instead, it’s directing resources to cruel and inhumane ICE raids. This is not how we make America safer.

Hispanic Heritage Month may be coming to an end, but the work to save lives from gun violence never stops. We’re working with Latino leaders to combat the disproportionate levels of gun violence in the community.

GREAT NEWS: California has signed multiple gun safety reforms into law, closing gaps in domestic violence and extreme risk protection order laws.

Alex Jones further traumatized families of the Sandy Hook shooting with his lies and conspiracy theories. Today, the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to get out of paying the $1.4 billion he owes them in damages. He must pay for the harm he caused.

Eight people were killed and at least 20 injured after gunfire erupted at two separate homecoming celebrations this weekend in Mississippi. Every shooting is a preventable tragedy. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims.

We should all be able to go on a grocery run without worrying about if we’ll make it home, but now anyone can openly carry a gun in Florida’s largest grocery store chain without a background check or training. This is a massive threat to public safety.

TRAGIC: An 11-year-old boy died from a gunshot wound in Newburgh, NY, and a 13-year-old boy was arrested shortly after. No child should ever have unrestricted access to a gun. Safe storage saves lives and prevents these senseless, preventable tragedies.

Women are 5 TIMES more likely to be killed if their abuser has access to a gun—and Black women are disproportionately affected. Domestic violence and America’s gun violence crisis go hand-in-hand.

“I do not feel safe because I’m always outside, and that risks the chances I get shot more easily.” - 12-year-old from Austin, TX Our kids shouldn’t be scared to go outside, and it shouldn't be on them to prevent gun violence. They deserve better.

After the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi supported raising the age to 21 to purchase assault weapons in Florida. But when asked yesterday, she avoided the question. This is what the gun lobby’s influence looks like.

The Trump admin furloughed staff who oversee federal aid for domestic violence victims. They are workers who have typically worked through past government shutdowns because domestic violence services are considered lifesaving support

After a month of recovery, 12-year-old Lydia Kaiser—who was shot in the head at Annunciation Catholic school in Minneapolis—is back in class 🧡 Lydia was shot while shielding a younger student from the attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Two people were killed and 12 others were injured Saturday night near downtown Montgomery, Alabama. Seven of the victims were between 16 and 20 years old. Once again, a night out ended in tragedy because of America’s gun violence crisis.

The government is STILL shut down and gun violence is STILL the number one killer of children and teens in America. We need action. Now.

Virginia and New Jersey 🚨🚨🚨 Election Day is only one month away! It’s time to show up, knock on doors, and make your plan to vote for @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, as well as gun safety champions up and down the ballot: IWillVote.com

Police have identified Solomon Banjo, 36, Joy Rogers, 64, and Michael Durbin, 56, as the three people killed last weekend at a North Carolina waterfront bar. Solomon was an executive director at a healthcare technology company. He’s been described as brilliant and as a fun, positive presence.
