Two names appear in this week’s Say Their Names post — a child and their mother, who carried out a murder-suicide while experiencing trauma. This heartbreaking loss reminds us of the urgent need for care, support, and strong tools to prevent access to guns in times of crisis.

For two weeks in August, our Say Their Names posts show no reported gun homicide deaths in Maryland. This is a powerful reminder that progress is possible and that continued efforts to reduce gun violence can save lives.

Another school. Another shooting. Another community shattered. The Second Amendment has been twisted into a license for chaos, and we are living in the hell it created.…

This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination.

This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

We honor the lives lost to gun violence by saying their names. Every name is a story, a family, a future cut short. We carry them with us in this fight for change.

Each week, we share the names of individuals lost to gun violence in Maryland—not as statistics, but as people with stories, families, and communities who grieve their absence. This post brings together all four weekly lists from June.

Guns have no place at holiday celebrations.
Fireworks, not firearms.
Joy, not gunfire.
This July 4th, leave guns at home — and help keep your community safe.

Gun violence is declining in Maryland—but for those lost, for those left behind, our work is far from done.

Fewer deaths don’t mean the crisis is over. Every name represents a family, a future, a life stolen too soon.
