Governor @RoyCooperNC is a proven gun safety champion, who—as a gun owner himself—knows that safer gun laws and responsible gun ownership go hand-in-hand. We’re proud to endorse him in his race to represent North Carolina in the Senate and flip this crucial seat blue.

VICTORY: We are suing Glock for selling semiautomatic handguns they know can easily be converted into illegal machine guns. A court ruled that our suit can move forward. The gun industry is not above the law. This is a major win for public safety in MN.

.@GovRonDeSantis chose to erase a tribute to the 49 lives taken at Pulse. Instead of vandalizing memorials, Florida leaders should focus on preventing more families from experiencing this kind of loss.

Thanks to the leadership of people like @GavinNewsom and @RobBonta, California has a gun death rate more than 40% below the national average. We need more leaders who stand up to the gun lobby and support meaningful solutions to keep guns out of reach for criminals.

The Trump admin is telling criminals they can ignore the law and walk around DC with AR-15s. That's the opposite of "law abiding gun owners.". This is what happens when you care more about sucking up to gun industry CEOs than enforcing the law and reducing crime.

The gun lobby has bought a number of extreme Republicans in Congress—and Rep. Ciscomani is one of their biggest allies. He takes their money, then opposes common-sense reforms that would save lives. Yesterday in Tucson, we joined @StopBigMoney, @AZAGMayes, @AdelitaForAZ,

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids & teens in America. For young Black men, it takes more lives than the next 15 causes combined. Trump’s rollbacks of critical violence prevention efforts will deepen this crisis.

The suffering of America's gun violence crisis is concentrated in Black neighborhoods damaged by decades of disinvestment and racial discrimination. Trump is unravelling efforts to solve the problem.

Three people were killed and eight others were wounded early this morning after a dispute broke out at a crowded Brooklyn nightclub. Easy access to guns turn dangerous situations deadly. Our hearts are with all those impacted.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about law and order, and he doesn’t care about reducing crime. If he did, he’d close loopholes to keep guns away from dangerous people, and keep police officers safe. It’s really that simple.
