Guns are the #1 killer of our generation, yet House Republicans are pushing a federal concealed carry mandate—a reckless bill that would gut gun safety laws nationwide. If your lawmaker really cares about protecting kids, they’ll vote NO. Send them a message: buff.ly/shHNIAj

Oregon just banned bump stocks and machine gun conversion devices, often called “switches.” These small attachments can turn standard pistols into rapid-fire machine guns. The law also empowers local governments to prohibit guns in certain municipal buildings, so public spaces can be safe for all.
