VICTORY 🎉The Gun Sense Majority in the House has voted to appropriate $50 million in funding to research the causes of gun violence and its solutions.
Its been more than two decades since Congress has properly funded gun violence research. This funding will give leaders the data that is needed to make policies that will help people lead healthier and safer lives.

We must end the culture of “shoot first, ask questions later.”
We’ve reached another tragic milestone.
There have been more than 200 school shootings since January 2013. At least 63 people were killed, and at least 156 injured in those shootings.
We need to elect leaders who support gun safety measures—not ones who push the NRA’s agenda of guns everywhere.
Time and again we have seen what happens when we allow hatred to be heavily armed. It will happen again and again until our leaders act.
For #Orlando for the LGBT community, for all Americans who have been killed or injured by gun violence, we MUST ACT.
Saturday is the first day of National Gun Violence Survivors Week – when we ask everyone to shine a spotlight on the stories of Americans who have had loved ones taken by gun violence, who have been wounded or threatened with a gun, or witnessed a shooting.
We’ll be sharing the stories of survivors and statistics that highlight the impact of gun violence.
