'The gun manufacturers, right-wing extremists, and companies getting rich off of gun violence want us to be numb and resign ourselves to a dystopian country where men, armed to the teeth, put us all in danger.' 📝 shannonrwatts, FerrellZabala
The data shows us how to fix this. Strong gun-safety laws that prevent those who shouldn’t have access from getting them – including those that require background checks on all gun sales, that disarm domestic abusers and those in crisis, and that stop children from accessing firearms – are. But in a nation made up of a patchwork of state laws and a U.S. Senate that has refused to act, we’re all only as safe as the closest state with the weakest gun laws.
As we continue the fight for Congress to act, there are steps that can be taken now at the state level to continue combating our gun-violence epidemic. States can close loopholes in our background-check laws and stop the proliferation of untraceableso that prohibited domestic terrorists cannot access firearms. They can also implement tools like Extreme Risk Protection Orders – commonly known as red flag laws – to remove firearms access from people who are clearly a risk to themselves or others.
