Safe gun storage lowers the risk of injury & suicide by ~70% (JAMA). Guns killed 75 people in Vermont in 2020. 67 of those were deaths by suicide & 8 were homicides. We urge @PeterWelch to cosponsor/pass HR748/Ethan’s Law to #KeepKidsSafe! vtdigger.org/2021/03/29/fire… @GunSenseVT

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

120+ Virginia localities passed 2nd Amendment sanctuary resolutions where "unconstitutional" gun laws won't be enforced.
Now some residents expect to be exempt from all gun laws—forcing officials to admit the resolutions are unenforceable, emails reveal. washingtonpost.com/local/vir…

Today @mike_luca & I presented compelling scientific evidence to the Vermont Senate: #HandgunWaitingPeriods reduce gun deaths. Majorities in the VT Senate & House are convinced. Now it's up to the Governor. Tweet/RT your support for evidence-based policy.

'Second Amendment Sanctuaries' is a fear-mongering tactic from the NRA that flies in the face of the majority of Pennsylvanians who support strong gun laws.

The Jersey City cop killed in today's active shooting, Detective Joseph Seals, was the city's "leading police officer in removing guns from the street," the police chief said. He leaves behind a wife and 5 children. nypost.com/2019/12/10/slain-…
