Yeena Yoo got involved in @momsdemandaction.org because she couldn’t imagine the thought of her sons wearing bulletproof backpacks. Now, she sits on the DuPage County Board and is one of more than 600 volunteers who have run for office and won. Learn more about Demand a Seat: demandaseat.org/

Todd Blanche has direct family ties to a manufacturer of high-capacity magazines. As acting attorney general, he is already gutting our gun safety laws to boost industry profits. Back in April, he announced 30+ rules that make dangerous changes to federal gun safety regulations.

We are excited to endorse @drannieandrews.com as South Carolina’s next US senator. As both a pediatrician and a @momsdemandaction.org volunteer, Dr. Andrews has spent years fighting to keep South Carolina communities safe from gun violence.

Survivors of our nation’s deadliest mass shootings shouldn’t have to beg elected leaders to prevent future tragedies. We deserve communities free from gun violence — not lawmakers who play Russian roulette with American lives.

The horrific shooting at an In-N-Out in Idaho comes during the same week we mark seven years since the El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, mass shootings — both carried out with assault weapons.

Too many communities across America know this fear and trauma all too well. We demand that lawmakers put our safety first and stop cowering to the gun lobby. If they don’t work to protect us from gun violence, we can and will vote them out on November 3.

3D-printing technology allows almost anyone to print the key parts of a firearm at home with no questions asked. These deadly weapons, also known as ghost guns, have been used in shootings across the country.

The Seattle Center shooting is a stark reminder that the gun industry continues to fuel America’s gun violence crisis with deadly innovations. The shooting involved both a ghost gun assembled from a kit and a Glock pistol equipped with a machine gun conversion device, making it fully automatic.

The man who shot and killed four people in midtown Manhattan one year ago today traveled more than 2,000 miles to commit the shooting. Weak federal gun laws and gaps between states’ laws made it possible for the shooter — who was from Nevada — to kill, wound, and traumatize countless New Yorkers.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson pointed out that the mass shooting at Seattle Center was just one of several horrific acts of gun violence that rocked the city over the past few days.

The federal assault weapons ban that President Bill Clinton signed into law expired 22 years ago. Assault weapons have been used in most of the deadliest mass shootings in the country. The best time to reinstate a federal assault weapons ban was when it first expired. The second best time is now.

Lawmakers fail us every day that they refuse to act on our nation’s gun violence crisis. The United States has a gun homicide rate 26 times that of our peer nations. That is preventable. We don’t have to live and die like this.

The Trump administration cut roughly $169 million in funding for community violence intervention (CVI) programs, who have had to pivot to ensure life-saving services do not fall through the cracks. CVI programs work & funding them is crucial in our fight to end gun violence. https://etwn.us/CVIcuts

After @mcbath.house.gov lost her son to gun violence in 2012, she became a staunch advocate for gun violence prevention — leading her to become the first @MomsDemandAction.org volunteer in Congress.

Mike Johnson’s comments on the horrific shooting of 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero by ICE agents in Maine yesterday: “I don’t know anything about this event, okay? I was a little busy yesterday… You guys can mock me for not knowing that.”

An argument with a neighbor should never end in gunfire, but Shoot First laws — commonly known as Stand Your Ground laws — essentially make murder legal. Emboldened by Florida’s Shoot First law, Ajike’s killer thought she could get away with the shooting.

This is big. Yesterday, a federal appeals court upheld Illinois’ life-saving ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. This victory comes just days after the Supreme Court agreed to take up a challenge to assault weapons bans.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was horrifically shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. His son, Ronaldo, had to find out via social media. When anyone can be shot and killed in the street by federal agents, no one is safe from gun violence.

Something stinks… Donald Trump Jr. is part owner of a company that sells guns online. Now, his dad is slashing gun safety regulations to let companies like GrabAGun ship guns right to a buyer’s door without the buyer ever having to set foot in a gun store.

The Trump Administration has announced 30+ rules that make dangerous changes to federal gun safety regulations. These rollbacks will allow buyers to bypass background checks and get guns shipped directly to their door without ever setting foot in a gun store.

On July 4, 2022, Sheila Gutman was attending a Fourth of July parade with her family in Highland Park, Illinois, when gunfire suddenly rang out. That day, seven people were shot and killed, and 48 others were shot and wounded, including Sheila.

A Kentucky church has gone viral for sharing a video of a skit in which adults "shoot" the devil in front of a room full of children. Subjecting kids to a full-scale simulated tactical raid and firing squad is an appalling abuse of what should be a safe space.

La’Daijah Walters, a 32-year-old Black transgender woman, was shot and killed in Mobile, Alabama last week. Police have not yet identified a suspect. Our hearts are with her loved ones and her community at this painful time. bit.ly/4vwNM4w

We just released a new report revealing how assault weapons and high-capacity magazines make our nation’s gun violence epidemic even deadlier. These weapons of war were used to carry out all ten of the highest-casualty mass shootings since 2016.

Thank you to the lawmakers at every level of government who joined nearly 1,000 @momsdemandaction.org & @studentsdemandaction.org volunteers and gun violence survivors at Gun Sense University in DC. Together, we can and will end our nation’s preventable gun violence crisis.

Political violence has no place in our democracy. Melissa and Mark should still be alive today. In their honor, we continue their legacy of working toward safety from gun violence for all.

America’s gun suicide crisis disproportionately impacts veterans, who are more likely to own guns than civilians. Our new research analyzes this devastating trend and shines a light on the role guns play in this preventable public health crisis.

Ten years ago today, 49 people were shot and killed, and 53 others were wounded at Pulse — an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, Florida — in the second-deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. The majority of the victims were LGBTQ+ and Latino.

All we can say is WOW. 🧡 This weekend, thousands of parents, students, survivors, celebrities, professional athletes, and community members came together to #WearOrange. From coast to coast, we showed that Americans demand an end to this preventable gun violence crisis.
