Moms just know things. Like how we’ve actually banned assault weapons before, so we can absolutely do it again. From the kitchen table to conversations about gun safety, moms know best. ☎️ #CallYourMom by @everytown & @momsdemand

School shootings are preventable. But right now, Minnesota Republicans are standing in the way of an assault weapons ban that could stop other school communities from experiencing the same pain and trauma. @MomsDemand volunteers and @StudentsDemand leaders stand with these medical professionals in demanding a vote on an assault weapons ban.

We just released a new report revealing that from 2017 to 2021, just 25 cities accounted for a staggering 14% of all crime guns recovered nationwide — over 200,000 guns total. We can’t let a small number of bad actor dealers fuel preventable gun violence in our communities. As the Trump Administration turns its back on dealer oversight, local leaders must step in and implement available solutions to stop trafficking at the source and save lives. Is a dealer in your city driving illegal gun trafficking? Find the full list of the top 25 source cities of crime guns at the link in our bio.

Governor DeSantis just signed a bill that effectively ends gun-free zones at public colleges and universities in Florida, and allows faculty and staff to act as armed guards on campus. This reckless move comes just one year after the mass shooting at Florida State University. For months, @studentsdemand & @momsdemand volunteers and gun violence survivors have raised their voices against this dangerous legislation. Florida lawmakers ignored their calls for action. Shame on @flgovrondesantis and every Florida lawmaker who worked to pass this dangerous bill. More guns for more people in more places will only lead to more tragedy.

VICTORY! Governor @AbigailSpanberger signed a historic slate of over 20 gun violence prevention bills into law, including a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. For over a decade, our volunteers have laid the groundwork for progress on gun safety in Virginia — the NRA’s home state. Now, they’re leading the fight with former @momsdemand volunteers representing 20% of the House Democratic Majority, and the governor herself! We’ll keep fighting for an America where everyone can live free from the threat of weapons of war in our schools, our grocery stores, our places of worship, or anywhere in our communities.

This is the agency that is supposed to make sure that gun dealers are following the law. Instead, ATF appears to be taking direction from the gun industry itself, which only stands to profit off these dangerous rollbacks. @RepAyannaPressley is right: This is a shame and a sham.

Four years ago today, Carlton Steverson hid employees and customers in the store freezer as a white supremacist armed with an AR-15-style rifle and high-capacity magazines shot and killed ten Black people, and wounded three others, at the Tops Friendly Markets in Buffalo, New York.​ When hatred is easily armed with a gun, it’s marginalized communities that suffer. Today, we remember those who were killed in Buffalo and continue our work to #DisarmHate in their honor.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump is building an “Amazon for Guns” and his son, Don Jr. stands to benefit. Under your noses, the Trump Administration is quietly reshaping gun regulations. The goal? Creating “Amazon for Guns”—a one stop shop to mail guns to your doorsteps. Guess who is on the board of directors for a company that would benefit? Don Jr. My exclusive report:

The Trump Administration is quietly laying the groundwork to allow handguns to be shipped through the mail for the first time in 100 years — all while fighting against mail-in ballots. What could go wrong? Click the link in our bio to find out more about this dangerous move.
