There are many things that Gov. Cox and I disagree on, including gun safety laws, but on this we agree: Regardless of ideology, we must unite against political violence.

As lead of an organization founded after a gunman tried to kill President Reagan, I urge Americans to listen to these words.

The UVU shooter is not transgender, is not a Democrat, and is not an immigrant. He's an unstable white man with access to firearms. America has a gun violence problem.

Every. Fucking. Day.

A society that can't even reasonably protect its students has failed on a profoundly deep level. It is a failed society.

Especially one that accepts this routine terror as normal, or the price we all must pay for our "freedom" or "right" to possess weapons of mass destruction.

Report of shots fired at UMass Boston has prompted a large police response and evacuation of the area.
One student who evacuated responds with anger that these threats of gun violence at schools should not be ignored and action is needed!

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people

Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

For years, lawsuits and the gun’s critics have alleged the pistol, which is sold on the civilian market as the P320, has a flaw that leaves it susceptible to firing unintentionally.

Years before Air Force base fatality, investigators found 'failure’ in a Sig Sauer gun

The Air Force's decision to halt use of the gun, which is manufactured by New Hampshire-based Sig Sauer, is the latest indication of concern about the weapon: For years, lawsuits and the gun’s critics...

“The gun industry spends millions of dollars lobbying for policies that put guns into the hands of people who have no idea how to use them responsibly because they care about making money.” -- @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, the Gun Industry's Own Research Reveals
