BREAKING: A court just struck down longstanding registration requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns. These are highly regulated tools and weapons that have been regulated for nearly 100 years, or since the National Firearms Act (NFA) was enacted in 1934.

Guess who profits from this administration’s rollback of lifesaving gun violence prevention policies? Yep, the Trump family. Read my latest Newsweek op-ed

Gun deaths are falling. Trump is about to reverse that. | Opinion

Our country’s historic progress to reduce gun crime and homicides hangs in the balance and we cannot relent.

Seven years ago, a 21-year-old gunman, motivated by hate, opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 23 people. The violence committed on that day is a reminder of why we need to ban assault weapons and disarm hate.

We fought for, and achieved, record progress in saving lives. Now Trump wants to undo all of that and put millions of lives at stake. Guns will be more likely than ever to end up in the hands of gun traffickers, domestic abusers, and children. Read my latest in @newsweek.com

Colin Gray’s prison sentence is about accountability and prevention. When adults leave firearms unsecured, the results can be catastrophic. Safely storing your gun stops gun violence before it happens. Four people should be here. This sentence won’t bring them back but it should be a wake-up call.

Elon Musk believes you can just buy your way out of any problem. But he and Trump can’t buy their way out of the exhaustion & fear that Americans feel about gun violence in their communities. They can’t buy their way out of unpopular and deadly policies including arming convicted domestic abusers.

Let's prevent mass shootings so we don't have to prepare for them!

Kris Brown | President, @BradyUnited.org@krisbrown.bradyunited.org · last wk.

Hear me out: Let’s spend this much energy (and more) on preventing would-be mass shooters from getting their hands on guns in the first place. We should be asking why our leaders are still making it easy for individuals who want to harm others.

Guns took 2 partners — who both died by firearm suicide — from 1 woman. Then, the NRA fought to keep the retirement savings one of them left behind. When an organization refuses to confront the role of firearms in suicide, and instead benefits from supporters’ deaths, we should all ask questions.

A Woman Lost Two Partners to Guns—Then the N.R.A. Came to Collect

The majority of suicides in the U.S. involve guns, and eighty per cent of those are done by white men, a pattern that the gun-rights organization has spent decades denying.

This is a horrific family tragedy. A mother and her 6 children are gone because an abuser had access to a gun. Armed domestic violence is exceedingly deadly. Domestic violence and gun violence are not separate crises — they are inseparable, and we must do more to keep guns out of dangerous hands.

The Trump administration is working to create an "Amazon for Guns" — an online gun marketplace that would, for the first time ever, deliver firearms straight to your doorstep. But guns aren't groceries. And shotguns shouldn’t be delivered like cereal. Take action: bradyunited.org/amazonforguns

U.S. military bases should be places of training & security. Instead, the House majority voted this week to make them places of crisis. Making it easier to carry personal firearms on base doesn’t make our troops safer. It makes preventable tragedy much more likely. More deadly political theater.
