WE DID IT! @governor.ca.gov signed AB 2047! This law makes California the second state in the country to require the 3D printer industry to build in safeguards against illegal gun manufacturing, protecting California schools and communities from gun violence before it happens.

We know that three quarters of all school shooters acquire their firearms from a parent or the home of a relative. This is entirely preventable by taking a few simple steps to secure guns in homes and vehicles — stored unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.

“We’re just in a very dark period of time where we even have to think about that.” A staggering 15 states have laws that explicitly authorize arming teachers — despite no evidence that these policies are effective in preventing gun violence in schools. Our teachers and kids deserve better.
