A 5-year-old boy fatally shot himself while playing with his father's unsecured firearm in Jackson, Mississippi.
Tragedies like this are preventable. Adults are always responsible for ensuring the safety of the children in their care by storing guns unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.

For decades, the gun lobby has used fear, paranoia, and disinformation to sell more guns to more people. The reality is: Using a gun for self-defense is rare and ineffective.

Gun violence against the transgender community and broader LGBTQ+ community is rampant. We cannot accept these attacks as the status quo, including by lawmakers who create policies that reject and endanger trans lives. #TDOR
Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance, we are holding in our hearts the transgender and gender-expansive people who have been killed in the US in the last year—most of them with guns.

It wasn't enough that Trump, on his first day in office, pardoned violent insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol on January 6. He's now at it again—pardoning one of those same insurrectionists for TWO federal gun offenses.

“Our state requires a permit and a background check to concealed carry in public, and it requires people to have safety training, too. Because of our strong gun laws, we have one of the lowest gun death rates in the country… A federal concealed carry mandate would undo that progress overnight.”

This holiday season, we’re forking over the facts: Despite being pushed as a response to school shootings, there is zero evidence that putting guns in classrooms protects students. What it does introduce are serious risks for children, educators, and entire school communities. 🧵

Placing the burden on kids to keep themselves safe in the presence of guns is misguided and ineffective. The onus is on adults to ensure kids don’t gain access to guns in the first place. That starts with securing guns in homes and vehicles—stored unloaded, locked and separate from ammunition.
Some states now require public schools to teach kids about gun safety
Along with stop, drop and roll, some states are teaching students to 'Stop and don't touch that gun.'
