“I do not feel safe because I’m always outside, and that risks the chances I get shot more easily.” - 12-year-old from Austin, TX

Our kids shouldn’t be scared to go outside, and it shouldn't be on them to prevent gun violence. They deserve better.

The vast majority of Americans—including gun owners and Republicans—support commonsense gun safety laws.

But the Trump admin would rather cater to their gun CEO donors than prioritize public safety.

After the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi supported raising the age to 21 to purchase assault weapons in Florida.

But when asked yesterday, she avoided the question. This is what the gun lobby’s influence looks like.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Do you support raising the age to 21 to purchase assault weapons?

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Your views are not pending litigation.

Extreme Republicans shut down the government, and people will suffer because of it.
DOJ furloughs could impact domestic violence grants. Some fear that's the point.
The grant managers sent home this week have typically worked through past government shutdowns.

The Trump admin furloughed staff who oversee federal aid for domestic violence victims. They are workers who have typically worked through past government shutdowns because domestic violence services are considered lifesaving support

Donald Trump has diverted more than 40,000 law enforcement agents from fighting to crime to build his deportation army 🚨🚨🚨

Law enforcement should focus on stopping crime. This is an attack on public safety.

Rather than working across the aisle to save lives from gun crime, extreme Republicans are allowing the government to shut down because they refuse to tackle skyrocketing health insurance costs.

Congress should be in DC working. Instead, the House is on vacation.

This is unacceptable. We must close loopholes that allow people with a history of domestic abuse to buy and possess guns. #DVAM

Domestic violence and easy access to guns is a dangerous combination.

More than 700 women in America are shot to death by intimate partners each year, and millions more are injured or threatened with a gun.
