Everytown for Gun Safety
@everytown.bsky.social
We are a movement of parents, students, survivors, educators, gun owners & concerned citizens fighting to end gun violence and build safer communities.

Active shooter drills don’t make our schools or children safer. Instead, they traumatize students, school staff, and parents. Our kids deserve better—they deserve solutions that prevent gun violence before it happens.

Our nation’s gun safety laws are only as strong as the weakest link. If leaders in Congress want to protect our communities from gun violence, they need to pass common-sense gun safety laws—like background checks on all gun sales and Red Flags laws—at the federal level.

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.”

🚨 National law enforcement organizations have sounded the alarm on H.R. 38, the federal Concealed Carry Mandate. This bill would create serious concerns for the safety of our communities and officers across the country.

We can’t let it pass. Urge your lawmakers to oppose H.R. 38: etwn.us/4rk19mM

The gun industry will do just about anything to sell more military-style assault weapons—and these veterans aren’t buying it. https://smokinggun.org/report/turning-our-streets-into-war-zones/

For decades, the gun lobby has used fear, paranoia, and disinformation to sell more guns to more people. The reality is: Using a gun for self-defense is rare and ineffective.

Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance, we are holding in our hearts the transgender and gender-expansive people who have been killed in the US in the last year—most of them with guns.

House Republicans are conspiring to force a vote on a deadly, gun lobby-backed bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people with no safety training to carry hidden, loaded guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

The reality is: People use guns to kill people. If more guns everywhere made us safer, America would be the safest country on earth—but it’s not.

This holiday season, be ready to debunk misinformation and disinformation about gun violence with facts. https://bit.ly/GunMyths

Last month, we hosted a first-of-its-kind 3D-Printed Firearms Summit at Cornell Tech to bring together leaders across policy, law enforcement, academia, and the 3D-printing industry to address this growing problem and find solutions to help keep communities safe.

Did you know: The Dept. of Defense has awarded billions of dollars to gun makers that sell virtual copies of their military weapons to civilians? These companies are exploiting military experience to sell some of the same guns that have been used in our nation’s deadliest mass shootings.

If someone’s too young to buy a beer, they shouldn’t be allowed to carry a hidden, loaded gun in public. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people under 21 to carry concealed guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

VICTORY: Maine voters passed a Red Flag law—also known as an Extreme Risk law. This is a crucial tool that helps prevent gun violence before it happens by allowing family members and law enforcement to intervene and temporarily limit access to guns when a person is a threat to themselves or others.

Abusers should never have access to guns. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a dangerous, gun lobby-backed bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people like abusive dating partners to carry a concealed gun in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.
November 1, 2025 at 5:45 PM

House Republicans are conspiring to pass this dangerous gun lobby-backed bill while the government is shut down—all while tens of millions of Americans are on the verge of losing access to SNAP.
