Lamont would ban sales of handguns convertible to machine guns Dozens of opponents say the Connecticut bill is an overreach that would ban sales of popular Glock firearms and similar striker-fired pistols.

“[Connecticut Governor] Lamont noted that the support of law enforcement and gun safety groups, such as Moms Demand Action and its offshoot, Students Demand Action, help drive gun bills to passage.” 💪

This comes less than a year after two people were killed and five more were wounded in the mass shooting at Florida State University. Flooding campuses with guns is not the answer to our nation’s dystopian epidemic of school shootings.

The safest way to store your firearm is not just locked up, but also unloaded. Remove the magazine, clear the chamber, and double-check that no ammunition remains inside before storing a firearm. An unloaded gun reduces the risk of unintentional injury.

Ghost Guns Are Linked to an Increase in Suicide Rates People who attempt suicide, nine out of 10 times, will survive — if they don’t use a gun. But suicide attempts with a firearm are almost always fatal: nine in 10 attempts end in death.  For years,…

Firearm suicide is a quiet crisis — which could be worsening because of ghost guns, a new study found.

The analysis, which used data from the CDC and The Trace’s Gun Violence Data Hub, found a previously unreported link between gun recoveries and suicide rates.

3 out of 4 school shooters get their gun from their home or the home of a relative. Keeping guns securely stored can prevent them from getting into the wrong hands.

Please take time to listen and watch our conversation with Harper Moyski’s mom and dad. They invited several lawmakers one by one into their home shortly after the mass shooting at Annunciation church and school to talk about gun violence prevention.

Their daughter died in the Annunciation mass shooting. Since then they’ve met with 19 lawmakers in their living room, a majority Republicans, to have conversations about gun violence.
Take a read/listen to the Moyski’s story.

Huge thanks to Texas Gun Sense for inviting me to speak on a panel at All Hands: Fighting Texas’ Gun Violence Epidemic as a Public Health Crisis.

These conversations feel especially important right now as our community is still heartbroken from the recent shooting that took the lives of 3 people.
