Just the latest example of the Trump Administration prioritizing the gun industry’s bottom line over public safety. ⬇️

ATF to End Police Notifications for Deadly NFA Weapons

The handout to the gun industry makes it easier for people to obtain silencers, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA weapons.

Experts mostly agree that school shooter drills have the potential to traumatize kids rather than empower them. Yet students also say that schools should continue conducting them. What’s going wrong, and how can schools make drills better?

Domestic violence impacts people—especially women—every single day. Gun safety laws matter, but they need to be implemented and enforced to be effective.

Abusers should never have access to guns. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a dangerous, gun lobby-backed bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people like abusive dating partners to carry a concealed gun in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.
