Trump’s threats aren’t just rhetoric—they are a chilling attempt to suppress the voices of those who stand up to his extremist agenda. Our democracy depends on leaders like @captmarkkelly.bsky.social who refuse to normalize intimidation from the highest office in the land.

Since taking office, the Trump Administration has slashed millions in funding for federal law enforcement—reassigning 80% of ATF agents who normally investigate gun crimes to carry out its “immigration crackdown.”

Let's help ensure the safety of our children, friends, and family members this holiday season by securing guns in homes and vehicles, stored unloaded, locked and separate from ammunition.
As you gather with family and friends this week, it's important to ask if all the firearms in the home and in vehicles are securely stored before visiting.
That means guns are stored unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition. #BeSMART
