Since The @NRA is incapable of understanding the important role we the medical community have in this fight against #GunViolence, we have created this handle just for you! @JosephSakran @DocsDemand @choo_ek @shannonrwatts @davidhogg111 @fred_guttenberg @Emma4Change #ThisIsOurLane.
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves.

As ou founder and chair of our #ThisIsOurLane Advisory Council @JosephSakran said, “This isn’t about politics or taking sides. It’s about clinical care and taking action. Just as we routinely ask patients about smoking or seatbelt use, we must also talk about firearms."

Secure storage is crucial to #EndFamilyFire and prevent America’s gun violence epidemic. Research shows that even a 20% increase in the number of American households practicing secure storage could prevent one-third of youth gun deaths from suicide and unintentional shootings.

The ads promote our resource guide, shaped by our #ThisIsOurLane Advisory Council. The guide contains evidence-based best practices and tips on how to have unbiased and culturally informed firearm safety discussions with patients.

It is urgently needed: 4.6 million children live in a home with an unlocked firearm, contributing to guns as the #1 cause of death for kids in America. @bradybuzz

Today marks the last day of Gun Violence Awareness Month—but healthcare providers need to ask about firearm safety every day, every month. Normalizing these conversations saves lives. Let’s keep prevention going year-round.

Culturally competent care saves lives. Clinicians must speak out: kids need targeted support—not silence, stigma, or erasure.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will cut its LGBTQ+ youth crisis line on July 17. Every 45 seconds in the U.S., a young LGBTQ+ person (13–24) attempts suicide.

It’s time to include gun safety training in nursing education, just like CPR or fall risk assessments. Firearm safety is a public health issue. Read more here:

Most guns used in child shootings happen inside the home, making routine safety conversations essential. Home healthcare nurses are uniquely positioned on the frontlines of prevention but too often lack education on firearm safety screening.

This decision, combined with the termination of the LGBTQ+ Youth Suicide Lifeline, is cruel and dangerous. Trans youth deserve safety, support, and dignity — not state-sanctioned harm.

Let’s be clear — in the U.S., gun violence is the #1 killer of kids and teens. Instead of banning life-saving care, we should be doing everything in our power to protect all young people.

Trans youth already face extreme risks from bullying, discrimination & lack of support. Denying medically necessary care fuels a crisis — especially as firearm suicide remains a leading threat.

Brady condemns the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Skrmetti. Upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth is a direct attack on LGBTQ+ rights — and it puts lives in danger.

Clinicians can’t ignore this: 7,400+ child gun deaths since 2010 in states with weak gun laws. Far fewer in states with strong gun laws. The data is clear. Gun laws work.

From limb loss to nerve damage, rehab is long, complex, and deeply personal. PTs are essential partners in prevention and recovery. We all have a role in this. #ThisIsOurLane.

Reminder, the physical impacts of gun violence don’t end when a survivor goes out the ER door. Physical therapists are on the frontlines of recovery—helping survivors of firearm injuries rebuild strength, mobility, and independence. #ThisIsOurLane.
