President @BradyUnited.org. Fighting to free America from gun violence. Proud Virginian, mother, and lawyer. Join the movement at bradyunited.org.
Pinned
My name is Kris Brown, I’m the president of @bradybuzz.bsky.social, and as I work to end gun violence, my greatest goal is to put myself out of work.

When gun violence is the #1 killer of kids and young people in America, inaction is not an option.
Let's be clear: there is no Second Amendment right to illegally sell guns.

But Trump keeps deregulating the gun industry, rolling back safeguards, and even restoring gun rights to traffickers and abusers.

The NRA spent millions to elect him — and he’s paying them back with our safety.
I'm demanding answers from the DOJ, AFT, and FBI on sweeping staff cuts and agent reassignments.

ATF is losing critical investigators and diverting agents away from gun crime work. This is not how to make Americans safer.

While the world focused on the Epstein files, Congress took up a dangerous bill that sponsors say is to help law enforcement get greater access to “less-than-lethal” weapons.

In reality, it deregulates dangerous weapons to help a billion-dollar weapons industry make more money.

Over the past year, the Trump administration has dangerously weakened ATF, keeping it from being able to fulfill its mission.

We look forward to learning more about Deputy Director Robert Cekada’s vision to put ATF back on track to prevent gun violence and save lives.

Grateful to Coach Kerr for using his platform to drive meaningful change.

When leaders speak hard truths about gun violence, they help move this country from apathy to action.

We need more of this courage on the court, in Congress, and in every community.

A president who claims to care about law and order just erased a gun conviction for a January 6th insurrectionist. Twice.

This is how you normalize extremism and arm it. It’s dangerous and every American should be alarmed.

Coach John Beam changed lives far beyond football.

This isn’t just a sports story. It’s a story about gun violence invading safe spaces.

My heart is with Coach Beam’s family, students, and the entire Oakland community.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr made another plea for gun reform after a famed former football coach in the Bay Area died after being shot at the college campus where he worked as athletic director:

“We have to be the change as a community, as citizens.”

@crow.house.gov gets it. An Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, a bridge-builder, and a leader who understands and listens the kitchen table concerns of Colorado’s families.

Exposing our nation's most vulnerable veterans to danger isn't a win for ANYONE.

This measure undermines background check requirements for vets who suffer from debilitating mental health disorders.

America has a veteran suicide crisis. Protecting at-risk vets means limiting access to lethal means.

While the government reopened without healthcare protections that millions desperately need, extremists were busy with something else: trying to gut gun industry oversight and plotting to advance a national concealed carry mandate through the House that would put every community in America at risk.

Firearm suicide uniquely impacts veterans, with an average of 13 veterans dying by firearm suicide every single day in the U.S.

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. As we honor our veterans, let's make sure to talk about mental health and secure firearm storage. It could save a life.

Honoring our veterans includes committing to help keep them safe and working to address firearm suicide.

Every day, on average, 13 veterans die from a self-inflicted firearm injury. Checking in with loved ones and talking about secure gun storage could save a life.

Take it from a combat veteran himself: a nationwide concealed carry mandate would be a deadly "nightmare" for civilians and law enforcement alike.

Congress could vote on this bill as soon as the shutdown ends.

The law would force all states to recognize concealed carry permissions from anywhere else in the country, and would be highly dangerous for civilians and law enforcement.

The results are in: Americans want action to end gun violence. From Virginia to New Jersey and up to Maine, voters were clear about their priorities.

We proved that running on gun violence prevention isn’t just right — it’s how we win.

Here’s what that means for our movement and our future 👇

We have now reached the longest government shutdown in American history (the top 2, both under Trump.)

Every day that the MAGA shutdown continues is another day that public safety is at risk from a largely unregulated gun industry.

Voters on Tuesday were clear: it’s time for the cruelty to end.

Last night, we elected dozens of gun violence prevention champions committed to creating a safer America.

These wins will mean hundreds of thousands of American families will be safer from gun violence in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods.

Now, let's keep up this momentum for 2026.
Today’s a turning point for gun safety with historic wins across VA, NJ, CA, and NYC.

But Maine showed something even deeper: courage.

Mainers stood up for their safety when others doubted them. Thank you, @mainegunsafety.bsky.social for proving them wrong.
