For 21 years, the gun industry has enjoyed special protections that make it more difficult for families devastated by gun violence to have their day in court. In my latest post, I explain why it’s long past time to repeal a law known as PLCAA, and what Brady’s victories in court prove is possible.

For over 50 years, federal law prohibited handgun sales to those aged 18 to 20. A September 18th DOJ opinion has declared that law unconstitutional.

There’s plenty of evidence that guns in the home make women less safe. Yet extremists are attempting to exploit women’s fear to overturn #MA gun laws. More guns and more fear aren’t a plan to keep women safe. They’re a complete failure and the only people who benefit are gun industry executives.
