My note from today's @dealbook...please let me know your thoughts.

Big win for gun safety in our country.

Thoughts and prayers were never enough. I'm proud to have established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and taken bold executive action to keep guns out of dangerous hands and dangerous weapons off our streets. Congress, it's your turn to act.

“It’s no surprise the NRA’s financial struggles are only getting worse—it’s riddled with infighting and drama, and even Donald Trump has reportedly lost faith in the organization.” - Justin Wagner, Senior Director of Investigations at Everytown for Gun Safety

That's real $$$. "The turmoil has cost the group roughly $1.3 billion in revenue over six years."

Proud to be out supporting my friend @KenJenkinsNY last night to be Westchester’s next County Executive.

The gun industry has a perverse interest in preserving gun violence. Today @StudentsDemand launched a new campaign to empower young people—who have grown up experiencing lockdowns and daily gun violence—to expose the gun industry’s #KillerBusiness for what it is. The gun

We aren’t waiting on lawmakers to take action on gun violence. We’re taking on the gun industry itself. Greedy gun makers, dishonest marketers, and rogue gun sellers profit off of our country’s gun violence crisis. The gun industry makes $9 billion a year while 45,000 people are

A damning exposé: At least 10 major gun makers—including Glock and Smith & Wesson—allegedly handed over hundreds of thousands of customers’ private data to the gun industry's chief lobby group, the NSSF, without their knowledge. https://t.co/HK4gaAn28R

“The gun industry says we need guns to protect ourselves from dangerous criminals, yet its greed and indifference to preventing theft is arming them five times a day. This troubling trend is preventable.” - @NickSuplina https://t.co/cI7g4iw6DJ

Gun stores with weak security are putting our communities at risk. Stolen guns are often used in crimes, and our new report details how incredibly lax security at gun stores arms criminals. We’re demanding gun stores secure their inventory and make it harder for criminals to

On average, gun stores report five incidents of theft or loss of firearms each day. Unlike laws that govern other industries, there are no federal laws that require gun stores to undertake any measures to secure their inventory. https://t.co/AqXln5EUch

To capture the scope of the @NRA's problem: "The NRA Victory Fund reported bringing in just $400 in September for the sixth straight month. By contrast, the NRA Victory Fund brought in $4,526,909.63 in September 2020." literally — LITERALLY — four orders of magnitude less.

This is the most coverage @NRA's Doug Hamlin has gotten since the initial trial coverage of his conviction for torturing and killing a cat.

Too many gun dealers have willfully violated federal law in the past and gotten away with it because the ATF didn’t have the resources to shut them down. Now, under @POTUS’ “zero tolerance” policy, more and more are having their licenses revoked. https://t.co/jiLsvGP5sf

Investing in community-led violence intervention is critical to combating gun violence. This week, we joined over 60 of our Community Safety Fund grantees from 47 cities ahead of the 11th annual @CitiesUnited convening in Seattle to learn from each other and share best practices

NEW DATA: Just four gun manufacturers accounted for over 40% of the nearly 180,000 guns recovered from crime scenes across 34 cities—with Glock leading at 18%. What’s more, 20 cities reported recovering more than 560 machine gun conversion devices in 2023 alone.

The latest headline for @GLOCKInc, courtesy of @Everytown: @AP: Glock pistols are popular among criminals because they’re easily modified, report says https://t.co/8qGnN9Yebp

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of what the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention (@WHOGVP46) has done under Vice President @KamalaHarris’ leadership in just one year. #OGVPYEARONE

Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund and two gun violence prevention groups have officially opened their Philadelphia field office, a place for volunteers to gather in a get-out-the-vote effort. https://t.co/cG2rsYBosU
