Based in Hendersonville, North Carolina, this group of dedicated volunteers work to promote gun safety legislation and the safe storage of firearms.
Our lawmakers should be focused on passing policies that keep us safe—but instead, they're considering legislation that would gut our life-saving gun laws. I just sent a message urging my lawmakers to oppose it: etwn.us/3DGVCCY @Everytown
Tell Congress: Oppose the Federal Concealed Carry Mandate
This legislation puts the safety of our communities at risk.

Seven years ago today, 17 people were killed and 17 were injured at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
This senseless shooting inspired young people across the country to demand improved gun laws. The #Parkland17 deserved better, and we keep fighting every day in their honor.

One year ago, a family of five was shot and killed in their home in East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
When police arrived on the scene, the gunman shot at police officers before setting the house on fire.

If Trump wants to address immigration in a meaningful way he should show some muscle against the all powerful gun industry.
Let's not forget that approx. 200,000 - 500,000 guns flow from the U.S. across the southern border each year and many end up in the hands of cartels and other armed groups.
