One year ago today, Trump signed the Big Ugly Bill into law, making silencers more accessible for mass shooters and kicking millions of Americans, including gun violence survivors, off healthcare. History will remember it as one of the cruelest and deadliest laws ever enacted.

Let’s reject lectures on freedom today from the people who brought us January 6. From the crowd that is more concerned about algae than about protecting our kids from gun violence. Listen instead to the millions of Americans— including Black and Brown communities— who are still denied freedom.

No surprise that Don Jr. invested in the so-called “Amazon of Guns” that stands to benefit from his father’s proposal to ship guns through the mail. The administration’s proposed rule would supercharge the illegal gun market. It is exactly the kind of policy gun traffickers dream about.

It’s time for America to keep the promise it made 250 years ago. Subscribe and read my latest Substack post for July 4th 🇺🇸

The Court's decision to take up these cases is just that – a decision to consider these cases. Its doing so does not overrule any state or local gun safety law. Laws regulating assault weapons prevent harm and death in our communities, our schools, and our country.

Americans should be able to celebrate their team, their community without wondering if they’ll make it home alive. Even joy isn’t safe from gun violence in this country.

This past Father’s Day weekend, while families celebrated, America experienced 10 mass shootings. In my latest Substack, I write about a powerful short film that asks the question we should all be asking ourselves: When did we start accepting the unacceptable? Subscribe today ⬇️

This common-sense law is what the people of Hawaii wanted, but the court has complete disregard for that community will. Ultimately, the court makes it clear that it cares little about the threat of gun violence posed to the American people. My latest on the Supreme Court’s Wolford decision ⬇️

We’re disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Hawaii’s law requiring permission before carrying firearms onto private property. This commonsense measure respected private property rights and reflected what Hawaiians wanted to keep their communities safe.

Exciting news here about our @endfamilyfire.org campaign in New York State ⬇️

New York, it’s a beautiful day to vote for two work horses and bold fighters for safer communities: @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co + Adriano Espaillat. #NY10 #NY13

Today is ASK Day – short for Asking Saves Kids – and we are reminded that a simple question saves lives. Every day, 8 children and teens are unintentionally injured or killed due to an unlocked or unsupervised gun in the home. Before a playdate, ASK: Is there an unsecured firearm in the home?

Asking host parents about unsecured firearms in the home saves lives. My latest Substack includes ideas for making this conversation easier. Asking Saves Lives #ASKDay @endfamilyfire.org

We're proud to endorse @degette5280.bsky.social for CO-1. A gun violence prevention champion who knows weapons of war don't belong on our streets, in schools, in grocery stores, places of worship, or anywhere we go - we need Diana in Congress to keep fighting for Coloradans and all of us!

We’re always proud to be a part of Rock the Ride in Napa Valley #CA and we’re grateful to local leaders including Mike Thompson for making this amazing event possible. When communities come together, meaningful change to address gun violence is possible.

JUST IN: The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to a New York law that allows irresponsible gunmakers to be held accountable for harm. We were proud to help pass this first-in-the-nation law that whittles away at the billion-dollar gun industry's special protections fueling our gun violence crisis.

This administration just spent $14.2 million to learn something at the Reflecting Pool that any middle school science student could have told us for free. If only they were this committed to learning what prevents children from being shot.

One year ago today, Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were taken from us in a senseless act of political violence. Let’s honor Melissa and Mark with action to end gun violence.

Time has not at all eased the heartbreak of the Pulse shooting, where 49 mostly Latino, LGBTQ+ individuals were killed. I reflected on this moment in this week’s Substack, and the families who were left behind.

We don’t have to live this way. My thoughts are with the victims and the Midland community.

10 years ago, 49 people were killed and 58 were injured in the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, a place meant to be safe for LGBTQ+ individuals. Most of the victims were of Latino descent. Our hearts remain broken and our fight to Disarm Hate continues.

Last week, Brady sued ATF and DOJ over the administration’s refusal to release records seeking data from gun dealers whose weapons frequently, and quickly, end up at crime scenes. I’ve covered all the latest in my Substack. Subscribe today.

We are extremely proud to endorse long-time champion @teammcbride.bsky.social. At a time when too many politicians traffic in division and cruelty, Sarah leads with courage, compassion, and results. She’s a phenomenal human being, and exactly the kind of leader America needs more of in Congress.

We’re proud to join the Delaware Coalition Against Gun Violence in endorsing a phenomenal champion for public safety, Kathy Jennings. AG Jennings has spent her life protecting Delawareans and we urge voters to return her to office this fall. #DEpol @democraticags.bsky.social

The next House and Senate majorities need leaders ready on day one to save lives. That’s why Brady PAC is proud to endorse 23 proven gun violence prevention champions who will hold this administration accountable, stand up to the gun lobby, and fight for the safer future our families deserve.

Thanks to @msnownews.bsky.social for covering our new lawsuit against the Trump administration. “Americans deserve to know about the sources of firearms that are driving crime in our communities and what ATF is doing, or not doing, about it.” - Brady President Kris Brown @krisbrown.bradyunited.org

The homicide rate is falling, but domestic killings are not. We know what makes domestic violence more lethal: easy access to firearms. Domestic violence is not a private matter. It is a deadly public crisis and we must act like it. Women and children in this country deserve better.

As Brady President @krisbrown.bradyunited.org told @axios.com, "This is absolutely the gun industry's wish list." They know it raises the risk of mass shootings. They know that violent crime is likely to go up. They know it's going to hinder law enforcement. And they do it anyway.

This administration wants warning labels for LGBTQ+ people on tv. Not for the #1 killer of America’s children and teens. Not for the glorification of gun violence in media. While politicians manufacture outrage, they’re ignoring the very real and present danger that is taking our kids from us.

An Iowa man shot & killed 6 relatives in a domestic dispute. I can’t stop thinking about the only surviving family member, a 22-year old who lost his mom, sister, and 4 brothers. When an abuser has access to a firearm, the risk of a deadly outcome increases dramatically. Our leaders must act.

BIG NEWS: We’re taking the Trump administration to court. Along with @democracyforward.org, we’re demanding the administration comply with our requests for public records showing gun dealers fueling the country’s gun violence crisis — and what ATF is doing about them. We deserve answers.

A new report shows that Trump’s $330 million+ deployment of National Guard troops in DC did nothing to reduce violent crime. These dollars could have been put towards evidence-based gun violence prevention solutions that save lives. But that would require actually wanting to solve the problem.

While we celebrate Pride Month, we must also take action. The LGBTQ+ community is under sustained attack by this administration, with rollbacks of basic rights and protections, & attempts to erase identity and dignity. This impacts the safety and freedom that every American deserves. Enough. 🏳️‍🌈

The news cycle may have moved on, but we haven’t forgotten the victims of the San Diego mosque shooting, and the daily fears of violence experienced by Muslims in this country. Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nader Awad should be here. Read my latest post:

With Virginia’s recent actions on gun violence prevention, our Commonwealth requires background checks on all gun sales. Background checks save lives. They keep guns out of dangerous hands. Law-abiding Virginians have nothing to fear, and all of us have something to gain from safer communities.

Amin Abudllah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nader Awad are heroes who sacrificed their lives to save more than 100 children in the San Diego mosque shooting. But a country that regularly requires its citizens to become human shields isn’t exactly the “home of the free.” My latest Substack ⬇️

This administration has created a $1.8 Billion slush fund to reward armed January 6th insurrectionists for violently attacking law enforcement and threatening elected officials in Trump’s name. And we have no idea who will get rich off of political violence. What could possibly go wrong?

As a kid, Team ENOUGH San Diego leader Sarah Youssef attended the mosque that was recently the site of a horrific mass shooting. Now, as a gun violence prevention advocate, she shares her thoughts on what needs to change. #EnoughIsEnough #DisarmHate

My heart is with the families of the 21 killed at Robb Elementary School on this day in 2022, and with the Uvalde community. The families of Uvalde deserved better then, and our children deserve better now. Join us in honoring these 19 fourth-graders and 2 teachers with action.

Not again. As we await more information about the White House shooter, this is yet another reminder that preventing gun violence should be a universal goal for all of our elected leaders. Our hearts are with all those impacted, including an innocent bystander reportedly shot.

This bill doesn't honor veterans; it shows a lack of care for those who wore the uniform and experience severe mental health challenges and higher suicide rates by equipping them with lethal means. https://bit.ly/4dTIyJH

This week has been a painful reminder of the toll gun violence continues to take on our communities. Even in moments like these, progress matters. In Virginia, parents, survivors, Brady grassroots advocates, and others helped secure life-saving laws. I wrote about what this moment means ⬇️ ⬇️⬇️

Say their names: Amin Abdullah Mansour Kaziha Nader Awad And in their honor, join us in the fight to disarm hate and free America from gun violence.

This administration claimed it would “never let the public be at risk” while advancing gun regulations that explicitly warn the consequences could range from “minimal” all the way to “mass casualty events.” Does that sound like the “golden age” to you?

@jordanwood.bsky.social understands that freedom means being able to send your kid to school, go bowling, or gather with friends without fear of gun violence. Maine deserves that kind of leadership in Congress. Support Jordan #ME2

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

The attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego is awful. People of all faiths must be able to worship in peace. Such hate and violence should have no harbor in our communities. I’m praying for the victims. May their memory be a blessing. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

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.

As we wait to learn more, my thoughts are with the San Diego community, including the families who await more news about their children at the Center. We don’t have to live this way. Join me in saying ENOUGH.
