Thanks to advocates, partners, and lawmakers, Brady helped pass two life-saving bills in California that will ensure gun purchasers are trained on gun laws & firearm safety, and that will provide data on gun dealers who fuel illegal gun trafficking. bit.ly/3UpaKNr

Honored to co-host this event w/ Mayor Lee! Collaborating across cities to share insights about what is working, and what's not, to prevent gun violence is critical. The Brady team will also be sharing our own learnings on strategies to disrupt the supply of illegal guns.

Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist, was shot today at a political event at Utah Valley University. Political violence is never okay. We must come together to form a united response to America's gun violence crisis. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

For the record, we’re asking both God and our government to listen. This isn’t difficult.

If this country loved kids half as much as guns, thousands would still be alive. #MN

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and others out there leading the fight to end gun violence 🩷🩷 thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This Mother's Day marks 25 years since the Million Mom March — the largest protest against gun violence in U.S. history for 18 years. Thank you to all of the moms for 25 years of advocacy and leadership. We couldn't do this work without you.

On Mother’s Day, we are honoring the moms who have lost children to gun violence, the moms we have lost too soon, and the ones working to free America from gun violence and creating a safer future for the next generation. We appreciate you today and every day.

The Trump Administration wants to allow potentially dangerous individuals, including convicted felons, fugitives, and domestic abusers—especially if they are loyal to Trump—to acquire, own, and possess firearms, undermining public safety and 30 years of bipartisan congressional action. nytimes.com/2025/03/19/us/po…

Thank you Mayor @MichaelDTubbs for your leadership!
The summit is off to a great start thanks to @MichaelDTubbs, a special adviser for Governor Gavin Newsom & former mayor of Stockton, CA. His keynote address has us ready to tackle and discuss equitable, data-driven approaches to end gun violence in California.

Today marks the 31st anniversary of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, a law that has saved countless lives by blocking millions of dangerous individuals from purchasing firearms. I remain committed to building on the progress made by Jim and Sarah Brady.

Devices that turn semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic guns are called machinegun conversion devices – their impacts are devastating. They're already illegal, but they're flooding our communities. My new Task Force is working to address these emerging threats head-on.

The trauma, sadness, loss, and overwhelming sense of regret are unimaginable until they strike home. Losing my father 7 years ago tomorrow to gun violence has been the hardest battle of my life, and navigating a world without him feels like a struggle I may never fully overcome. The statistics are staggering— gun violence has claimed countless lives, leaving families shattered and communities in turmoil. This is why the progress made under the Biden and Harris administration, particularly in passing one of the most comprehensive gun violence prevention policies in three decades, is so crucial. Their leadership has sparked hope, and I believe the Harris-Walz administration will build on this foundation, pushing for meaningful legislation that prioritizes the safety of our communities. Their commitment to addressing gun violence is a key reason I support them. I am determined to advocate for a White House that not only reflects the voices of our citizens but also prioritizes the urgent need to combat gun violence. Together, we can create a future where no family has to endure the heartbreak I have experienced.

This is the Gabby Giffords district, and anyone who seeks to represent this district has a special responsibility to advocate for reducing gun violence. That’s why it was such an honor to speak with this amazing group of leaders and survivors yesterday, not just to hear their stories, but to talk more about how we break through the divisiveness in DC that has made progress on gun safety so hard. Huge thanks to @Brady_PAC and @GIFFORDS_org for facilitating this conversation.
