Thank you to all of those who make our work possible — those who lend their time, energy, money, stories, and even pain to this cause. We are making a difference because of you. Together, we will free America from gun violence.

My wife and I watched Joyeux Noel on Netflix today. It's the story of the Christmas truce between French, Scottish, and German soldiers. It was very well done and heartbreaking. Tomorrow, we'll watch something lighter.

The gun industry didn’t just sell guns, it also flooded the market with at least 717 *million* large-capacity magazines, making mass shootings deadlier. It’s time for bold federal action, enough with the excuses.

My book is delayed and you can help!

The illustrator I had is too busy to engage in the 35 UI illustrations needed to complete the book.

If you are or know of an illustrator that has time to deliver UI illustrations soon please let me know!

Grateful to Coach Kerr for using his platform to drive meaningful change.

When leaders speak hard truths about gun violence, they help move this country from apathy to action.

We need more of this courage on the court, in Congress, and in every community.
