Guns are the leading killer of kids and teens in this country, and many are killed in incidents of domestic violence. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month (#DVAM) we’re sounding the alarm on easy access to guns, which makes domestic violence even deadlier. buff.ly/efH6GIh

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.

Earlier this month, California lawmakers passed a life-saving bill to stop the threat of 3D-printed guns by requiring 3D printers to include technology that identifies and blocks attempts to print guns and illegal gun parts. We’re counting on @governor.ca.gov to get this bill over the finish line!!!

The idea that arming teachers will stop school shootings is a gun lobby myth pushed to sell more deadly weapons. More guns in more places is NOT the solution to school shootings.

When shots were fired at an outdoor concert in Harrisburg, PA, 13-year-old Josiah Zimmerman sprang into action, covering his little brother with his own body to shield him. Josiah should not have to be braver than the lawmakers elected to protect him.

The gun lobby and “active shooter preparedness” industry claim that traumatic active shooter drills are an unfortunate fact of life that we must accept. They’re wrong. We demand proactive school safety policies and stronger gun laws that prevent guns from getting to our campuses in the first place.

We know all too well what can happen when people who want to do harm get their hands on an assault weapon. The same assault-style rifles that have been used in the deadliest school shootings continue to be used to terrorize communities across the US — including this weekend in Twin Falls, Idaho.
