Trump’s expanded pardons for January 6th insurrectionists now include individuals facing gun charges unrelated to the riot at the capitol but uncovered during the investigation. This decision isn’t just about politics—it threatens public safety. 🧵⤵️

The abrupt firing of ATF Chief Counsel Hicks is chilling. ATF has historically been under-resourced, and we pay the price in our safety. Now, with Hicks removed from the agency charged with overseeing the gun industry, we are all at greater risk of gun violence.

Kash Patel has made it clear: he wants to gut the FBI’s ability to stop domestic terrorism and weaken gun safety laws. Now, thanks to the Senate’s reckless confirmation, our country is less safe. We cannot stand by—we must fight for every safeguard Patel tries to dismantle.

Changing laws alone won’t end gun violence—we need to change hearts and minds too. The This Is Our Lane resource guide mobilizes healthcare professionals to address gun violence as a public health crisis and provides physicians and healthcare workers with tools to talk to patients about gun safety.

Gun violence doesn’t just affect individuals, it traumatizes entire communities–and healthcare workers are on the front lines of this epidemic. The This Is Our Lane resource guide empowers healthcare providers to address this crisis head-on with compassion, expertise, and action.

Every life lost to gun violence is a preventable tragedy. I'm fighting for stronger laws, safer communities, and a future where we don’t have to fear for our lives. Gun violence affects us all - no one is immune. Together, we can make a change.

California taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing gun dealers who break the law. AB458 ensures state law enforcement agencies only buy from responsible firearm vendors—raising standards and keeping communities safer.

A gun going off in an elementary school should shock everyone—but it keeps happening. Schools are meant for learning, not lockdowns. The most important step? Store all firearms securely to ensure kids never have access to guns.

No one knows how a loaded gun ended up in an elementary schooler’s backpack. That alone should tell us everything: Kids should never have access to firearms. Safe storage saves lives.

Most guns that are used in crime start in the legal marketplace, at a licensed dealer. 90% of guns recovered in crime are traced back to sales by just 5% of gun dealers. Profits shouldn't be put over people. It’s time we unite to build a safer future that we all deserve. Join us in LA on March 19.

Gun safety should be part of patient care. Too many doctors don’t feel equipped to discuss firearm access & safety. In this webinar, @josephsakran.bsky.social speaks with Kaitlin Washburn about the role health care professionals play in gun violence prevention. Join on 2/21 at 12:00pm ET.

The NRA’s Eddie Eagle campaign lets gun owners off the hook by shifting responsibility onto kids. But children’s brains aren’t fully developed to resist curiosity. Safe storage is the only proven way to prevent unintentional shootings. Learn more at @endfamilyfire.org.

It is devastating that the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social now have to turn to from celebrating to mourning amid at least two people shot the Super Bowl parade in Philly,. We can — and must — end our country's gun violence epidemic. @bradyunited.org

Not again. Why does this keep happening? BECAUSE OF THE GUNS. Gun violence shouldn't be as uniquely American as the Super Bowl. But today now marks 2 years in a row of parade shootings — on top of the anniversary of the Parkland mass shooting. @fredguttenberg.bsky.social @bradyunited.org

Yesterday I joined Sen. Murphy, Rep. Frost, and other leaders in the movement to prevent gun violence for the reintroduction of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act. This bill would establish a permanent federal office focused on gun violence prevention - something we critically need.

If we had a minute of silence for every victim killed by gun violence in America last year, we’d be silent for about a month. So we won’t be silent. We will fight on and raise our voices to demand change until no one ever has to bury a loved one again and we can live without fear.

Seven years ago, 17 students and educators were taken from us at Parkland. So many live with the trauma of that day. Today, we remember them, support survivors, and commit to taking action against gun violence. Join us tonight at 7pm on Instagram live to honor with action.

My heart goes out to all the victims and survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. It is inexcusable that gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids and teens in the U.S. and I will work relentlessly until that is no longer the case.

Seven years ago today, 17 students and teachers were killed, and 17 others were injured in the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. Today and every day we’re grieving those we’ve lost and advocating for change for those who are still with us.

RFK Jr. has a record of spreading conspiracy theories and peddling misinformation. He will fit right in with the Trump administration, but he's not the right fit for America.

Kash Patel will be a nightmare for the FBI and for Americans all across the country. He's a known conspiracy theorist and has even said he would shut down the FBI as a creature of the "deep state" — an agency with a mission to "protect the American people and uphold the U.S. Constitution."

This week marks seven years since the tragic Parkland, Florida school shooting. Today, I joined Deadline: White House with @nicollewallace.bsky.social, where @fredguttenberg.bsky.social shared memories of his daughter Jaime, who was killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The Director of National Intelligence should be committed to truth and public safety. Instead, the Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard—someone who criticizes evidence-based gun policy in favor of NRA talking points.

When leaders fear accountability, they attack the press, the courts, and the truth itself. It's on all of us to defend democracy.

This afternoon I will be joining my friend @krisbrown.bradyunited.org on @DeadlineWhiteHouse with @nicollewallace.bsky.social at approximately 5:30pm to discuss 7 years since Parkland and the continued work to address gun violence and to support survivors of gun violence.

The Director of National Intelligence is supposed to follow the facts, not partisan narratives. Tulsi Gabbard’s embrace of gun lobby propaganda shows she is more interested in scoring political points than addressing real threats to American lives.

A 17-year-old in Nashville opened fire on his high school, killing a classmate and himself with a gun he got from home. 76% of school shootings are facilitated by kids' access to guns at home. Secure storage can prevent school shootings before they happen.

Millions of gun owners had their personal data stolen and used to manipulate elections. If the gun lobby will go this far to stop reform, imagine what they’ll do to keep guns in the hands of dangerous people.

Fed up with gun violence in America? If you’re a young person in California, D.C., or Florida, apply to @teamenough.org's Youth Advocacy Training by February 10 to learn your state's gun laws & legislative process. Practice your skills by meeting lawmakers to push for reform. ⤵️

The same cartels driving the fentanyl crisis are armed with American guns, many purchased legally in states like TX and AZ. By strengthening gun laws and holding the gun industry accountable, Pres. Trump could disrupt cartel violence AND curb the drug trade.

REMINDER: Even Trump’s own voters want sensible gun laws and do NOT support his dangerous gun agenda. That includes gun owners. Any effort to roll back common-sense measures to prevent gun violence will flout undeniable facts, the law, and widespread bipartisan support.

The Trump White House is alleging to have just "dismantled gun control" with its new executive order. That's not what happened. An objective review of gun violence prevention measures will show only what we already know: They're consistent w/ the Second Amendment, they're bipartisan, & they work.

President Trump has already taken steps to roll back all of the Biden Administration's progress against gun violence. We can't let this happen. Add your name to send a clear message to President Trump: the American people want gun safety, not guns everywhere! bradyunited.org/protectgunlaws
