We must do more as a country to keep guns out of dangerous hands, and that includes secure firearm storage. Learn more @endfamilyfire.org. CA also has protection order laws. More information is available at reducetherisk.ca.gov. Find out about protection orders in any state, visit womenslaw.org

Many underage shooters get their guns from the home. Storing firearms securely — locked, unloaded, and away from ammo — helps prevent unintended access and protect your loved ones. Learn more on how you can help #EndFamilyFire at endfamilyfire.org.

3 families in San Diego received the worst news of their lives yesterday, and we must understand how the 17-year old shooter had access to multiple weapons. My heart is with these families and with the Muslim community across this nation. We must stand up to Islamaphobia and hate in all forms.

At least 33 pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes. Some of these crimes include illegal possession of weapons, including at least two who had a previous domestic violence conviction. These mass pardons are a grave risk to public safety.

This is a historic day for Virginians. I grew up here and raised my daughters here, and in all my years of leading Brady, I have never been more hopeful than I am today.

BREAKING: Thanks to @abigailspanberger.com, Virginia just welcomed +20 new laws to prevent gun violence! These monumental laws represent countless families spared from unspeakable heartbreak. The Commonwealth deserves elected officials who side with children and families, not gun lobby profits.

This week, Governor Spanberger signed a bill into law prohibiting the carrying of firearms on college campuses in Virginia, AND a bill banning the future sale of Assault Weapons and large-capacity magazines. That makes 22 bills the Governor has signed to prevent gun violence and keep VA safe!

56 years ago, police at Jackson State College in MS confronted a group of students. Hours later, the police opened fire, killing two students and injuring twelve others. This week, we’re revisiting an episode of our podcast about the history of the Jackson State shooting. https://bit.ly/4dqHHyU

Every day, 8 kids are injured or killed by unintentional shootings. Secure storage works. Locking your guns can prevent a tragedy—without being a barrier to quick access in an emergency.

Four years ago today, 10 people were senselessly shot and killed at the Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, NY. All of the victims were Black. We must take action to address white supremacy and ban assault weapons!

Today, extremists on the House Appropriations Committee voted to put guns back in the hands of domestic abusers, unleash more untraceable ghost guns into our communities, and hide which gun dealers are breaking the law. This isn’t safety. It’s the gun lobby dictating federal law out in the open.

Our #ShowGunSafety team was excited to attend the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) with the team behind HOMECOMING, a dystopian short film about the human cost of gun violence. By helping Hollywood thoughtfully address gun violence, we can flip the script on this preventable epidemic.

Proud to partner with the Illinois Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Ad Council for a new localized campaign to raise awareness about Firearm Restraining Orders — the IL version of Extreme Risk Protection Orders — and secure firearm storage.

The Trump administration’s two lawsuits challenging firearms regulations in Colorado are emblematic of an extreme and aggressive new gun-rights posture at DOJ. Our Shira Feldman spoke to @bloomberg.com to explain.

Today is Mother’s Day. On this day, and every day, we honor the moms who have lost children to gun violence, the moms we have lost too soon, and the moms fighting to create a safer future for generations to come. Thank you, moms. Happy Mother's Day!

This Mother’s Day, I’m grateful for my daughters, who are my world, and my own mom, who shaped me into an organizer and activist at an early age. But for too many mothers and too many children, today is heavy. They are missing a loved one stolen by gun violence. We must act in their honor.

Allowing people to mail handguns through USPS is outright deadly. "...[U]nder this new system, we will undoubtedly see an increase in firearm trafficking and theft — putting all of us at risk," Brady President @krisbrown.bradyunited.org told @latimes.com.

Ahmaud Arbery should be celebrating his 32nd birthday today. Yet in 2020, he was killed in a racially motivated shooting while in his neighborhood. We #HonorWithAction by demanding systemic change to address racism, violence, and an end to "kill first, ask questions later" gun culture.

As we approach Mother’s Day, I’m holding in my heart the mothers and families across this country who are marking the day with a profound sense of loss due to gun violence. We can honor mothers including @kristinmillersong.bsky.social with responsible action including secure firearm storage.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter bought his shotgun from Turner’s Outdoorsman — which is responsible for more than 1 in 5 guns that turn up at crime scenes in California. Yet the state hasn't effectively inspected Turner's stores. When inspections fail to happen, crime proliferates.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Trump administration is working to make AR-15-style rifles legal nationwide. Assault weapons, paired with large-capacity magazines, are often used in America's deadliest mass shootings. Over 60% of Americans support banning these weapons of war.

3 out of 4 school shooters get their guns from home or the home of a friend or relative. This #TeacherAppreciationWeek, join us in showing your 🩷 to teachers by asking friends and family to lock up their firearms. ☮️📚📓#SecureStorageSavesLives @bradyunited.org @aft.org @neatoday.bsky.social pta.org

76% of school shooters under 18 got their firearm from the home of a parent or close relative. Storing firearms securely can prevent access and misuse, keeping your loved ones and your community safe. #EndFamilyFire

Charlize was 15 years old when her father he tried to kill her and her mother, shooting through her bedroom door. As an adult, Theron has worked to prevent violence against women and girls. "Nobody takes [domestic violence] seriously," she told @nytimes.com.

Teachers signed up to educate and inspire children, not to prepare for gun violence in their classrooms. This #TeacherAppreciationWeek, ask your elected officials why they are putting educators in this position in the first place instead of passing laws to prevent gun violence.

Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Gun violence kills 75 indigenous women each year. We must recognize how Indigenous women and girls are disproportionately impacted by gun violence. #DisarmHate

Teachers play a critical role in educating our youth. Yet, gun violence has too often forced teachers to focus on protecting students from gun violence. In honor of #TeacherAppreciationDay, share messages about the importance of secure firearm storage to keep communities safe!

Conversation around gun violence often focuses on perpetrators. But much of our country’s gun violence can be traced to the “supply side,” or the gun businesses that irresponsibly flood firearms into our communities. By shutting down or reforming negligent dealers, we can end help end this crisis.

Approximately 4.6 million children live in households with unsecured firearms. Preventing easy access saves lives. Thank you, teachers, for all you do to protect kids! They can’t do this alone. @teamenough.org @bradyunited.org @aft.org

Our Show Gun Safety team (@mattlittman.bsky.social) visited the set of Start of Watch, the new Bosch spinoff. I'm grateful for directors like Stephen Kay, who follows our #ShowGunSafety principles and shows gun safes on screen. Even small choices can prevent a tragedy. ➡️ showgunsafety.org

LAST CHANCE! Deadline TODAY. The Trump administration is trying to ditch a century-old policy, allowing the general public to mail handguns. This is a common-sense safeguard to prevent firearm trafficking, theft, and the shipment of guns to people who can't legally have them. Take action now!

OTD in 1970, 4 students were shot and killed and 9 others were wounded at #KentState University when members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a crowd protesting the Vietnam War. We honor their memory with action.

Do you want to be part of the solution to America's gun violence crisis, but don't know where to start? Brady and Team ENOUGH are hosting a Gun Violence Prevention Grassroots Academy to train people how to advocate effectively for safer communities. Apply before May 18 to get in on the action!

The USPS is considering allowing the general public to ship handguns through everyday mail, needlessly increasing risk for gun trafficking, theft, and other violent crimes. Tell USPS to reject this dangerous proposal! Take action at bradyunited.org/usps.

7 years ago today, 2 people were killed and 4 others injured when a gunman opened fire at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Our youth deserve a safer America. #HonorWithAction Ellis Parlier, 19 Riley Howell, 21

@mattlpost.bsky.social represents the next generation of leadership that #MD and our country desperately need. As an original Team ENOUGH executive council leader, Matt has been on the frontlines of the fight for a safer America. We are proud to endorse Matt Post for MD HD-14! 🗳️ for Matt!

The Trump administration: Fulfilling the gun industry’s wishlist, regardless of the impact on American public safety. These latest actions show once again that the administration prioritizes gun industry profits despite how that impacts the ability to solve crime or endangers American lives.

The Trump administration has made a disastrous move to weaken ATF firearm regulations and policies. These changes do nothing to protect 2A rights and only serve the special interests of the gun industry. You cannot claim to be tough on crime while taking actions proven to increase violence.

We’re honored to endorse gun violence survivor and national leader @gregoryjacksonjr.bsky.social in the Democratic primary for At-Large member of the DC Council. Listen to Greg’s powerful story and vote for him on June 16! Support Greg at jacksonfordc.com

Team ENOUGH members are meeting with lawmakers in Boston today to advocate for common-sense solutions to gun violence. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for young people in America. Elected officials need to hear directly from us. Taking action cannot wait!

@krisbrown.bradyunited.org has helped shape the gun violence prevention movement for decades. From the Brady Bill to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, Kris has never accepted gun violence as normal. I’m proud to recognize her courage, partnership, and fight to save lives.

We’re proud to be a member of the CalVIP Coalition — the nation’s largest coalition of community violence intervention (CVI) groups, and a huge part of why California is becoming safer. Today, we’re joining the call for $55 million in CalVIP funding to sustain this life-saving program. #FundCalVIP

I was deeply honored to receive an award from @nmqf.bsky.social yesterday. And it was presented by an absolute legend, @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social , one of the first officials to name gun violence for what it is: a public health crisis. Proud to stand with these leaders in this fight.

7 years ago today during a Passover service, a white nationalist gunman killed Lori Kaye and injured 3 others at the Chabad of Poway synagogue in #Poway, CA. As Lori saved her rabbi, a deadly act of anti-Semitism murdered her. We must #DisarmHate to help create a safer America.

After President Reagan was shot in 1981, he changed his outlook on America's gun laws. "This level of violence must be stopped," he wrote in the New York Times in support of the landmark Brady Bill. To date, that legislation has saved thousands of lives. What trajectory will our country take?

Trump thinks a new White House ballroom is a solution to prevent gun violence. What about for the rest of us? Guns kill 100 people in America every single day. Already in 2026, about 7k people have been shot and injured. A White House ballroom won't make us safer.

The U.S. has always accepted more political violence than similar democracies. Threats to Congress have doubled since 2022. But we cannot stop at condemning political violence alone. Time and time again, there is one thing at the root of these horrific acts: our nation's easy access to firearms.
