“Without federal support for gun violence prevention, we need our state lawmakers to step up more than they ever have before. New York lawmakers have shown that they care about public safety with this office.” - Patricia, Students Demand Action leader

Two years ago, what should have been a typical day at the Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, Texas became a nightmare. A white supremacist with an AR-15 and high-capacity magazines opened fire, killing eight people and wounding seven others. Three of the people killed were children.

We shouldn’t pay the price for adults’ irresponsible gun ownership with our lives. Storing guns unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition—prevents unintentional shootings, youth gun suicides, and school shootings. Learn how to pass a secure storage resolution at your school: buff.ly/Ydrzy6k

In August 2019, Trump said “we have to look very seriously at mental illness” after two horrific back-to-back mass shootings. Today, he canceled $1 billion in grants that helped schools hire psychologists & counselors and funded mental health programs in schools.

But we thought Trump said mental health was the problem, not guns...? 🤔 abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

One person was killed and six others were wounded when someone opened fire at Elizabeth City State University's annual Yard Fest celebration. This shooting comes as North Carolina lawmakers are considering a dangerous bill that would allow people to carry loaded guns in public, no questions asked.

"The tragedy at FSU demonstrates that gun violence is not limited to any specific community. It can happen to any person at any time or anywhere, especially when you live in a state that prioritizes a bullet over a body." -Sami Mason, a FL @studentsdemand.bsky.social leader

Yesterday, Florida students marched to the state Capitol to demand that lawmakers take action on gun violence after the horrific shooting at Florida State University. A future free from gun violence is what we deserve, and we won't stop fighting for it until it's our reality.

Community violence intervention programs are proven to reduce gun violence and help keep our communities safe. This reckless decision to cancel grants for life-saving work will only put more people at risk.

School shootings aren’t inevitable—they can be, and should be, prevented with secure storage. The responsibility to lock up guns belongs to the adults that own them.

For some at FSU, this was at least the second mass shooting they’ve experienced. We are a nation of survivors of a preventable epidemic. America's gun violence crisis is a policy choice that only benefits the gun industry and the lawmakers who cower to it.

Instead of working to keep Floridians safe from gun violence, gun lobby allies in the state legislature want to lower the age to buy guns back down to 18. Florida students refuse to let them roll back the life-saving progress we made after the Parkland shooting without a fight.

Experiencing a mass shooting at school even once is unconscionable. But for several former students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, yesterday’s mass shooting at Florida State University is the second time they’ve endured this terror. @fredguttenberg.bsky.social
