The Trump administration may have rolled back protections against machine gun-style weapons—but states don’t have to follow their lead. States can, and must, step up to ban dangerous forced reset triggers. Lives depend on it. giffords.org/analysis/the-t…

Yesterday, GIFFORDS staff stood proudly with Wisconsin advocates for a Day of Action—calling for background checks on all gun sales to keep communities safe. We’re united in this fight, and together, we’ll build a future free from gun violence.

Gun violence has taken more lives than car crashes in recent years. And while we made cars safer with seatbelts, airbags, and laws — commonsense gun laws get stuck in political gridlock, despite overwhelming support. It’s time we treat gun violence like the public health crisis

Last night, two people were senselessly murdered in an antisemitic attack. Hate violence is un-American, yet is fueled by easy access to firearms. cnn.com/us/live-news/i…

House GOP gave gun CEOs a $1.5B tax break instead of protecting families. Silencers make it harder for law enforcement to find the shooter—that's why they oppose them. For a party claiming to 'back the blue,' Republicans just made cops' jobs harder. giffords.org/press-release/…

Our students deserve to be safe at school and have access to the lifesaving resources Trump’s Department of Education cut. Thank you, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean for reminding Secretary Linda McMahon of her duty to all students, which doesn’t mean cutting vital funding for mental health.

Three years ago today, 21 lives—19 children and 2 teachers—were stolen in a classroom in Uvalde, Texas. 17 others were wounded. Advocates and survivors from across the nation said “enough,” and together we passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA)—the first major

States shouldn't sit on their hands. EVERY SINGLE TIME the Trump administration moves to weaken gun laws, lawmakers in statehouses can step up and protect their communities. giffords.org/analysis/the-t…

Last week, the House GOP passed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” allowing silencers to be purchased without a background check. Yet, in a filing over the weekend, Trump’s DOJ admitted silencers are "specially adaptable to criminal misuse.” So much for being tough on crime.

More silencers, fewer safeguards. The Trump admin is making gun violence harder to stop—and harder to hear. newrepublic.com/post/195611/re…

The Trump administration is weakening public safety and putting Southern Arizona at risk—but we’re fighting back. My friend Adelita Grijalva is running for Congress to build a future where all Tucsonans are safe from gun violence. I was proud to join her and local gun safety

When gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids and teens, rolling back commonsense gun laws is not leadership — it's failure.

Six years ago today, 12 people were shot and killed at work in a municipal building in Virginia Beach. Four more people were injured. We’re holding the victims, survivors, and their loved ones in our hearts as we work to build a future free of these senseless tragedies.

Since 2006, veterans have died by suicide nearly 20 times more often than soldiers have been killed in war operations. These suicides overwhelmingly involve guns. This is a national crisis. Lawmakers must come together, support our veterans, and take real action to prevent these
