It’s a new school year! And politicians are dusting off their “thoughts and prayers” tweets after the summer break. We can break this cycle. Will you sign our petition demanding Congress ban AR-15s and end school shootings? We need 25,000 signatures TODAY:

FACT CHECK: Between 2016 and 2021, NEARLY 70% OF GUNS recovered at crime scenes in Mexico were WERE TRACED BACK TO AMERICAN GUN MANUFACTURERS or importers.

Correction JD Vance: The vast majority of school shooters get their guns from their own home or the home of relatives, not from the cartel. #VPDebate

The reason America has a 25 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is easy access to guns. We don't have higher rates of mental illness. It's not divorce or video games or medications. It's the guns.

Gov. Walz: I am a hunter. I own firearms. The Vice President does. We understand the Second Amendment is there, but our first responsibility is to our kids to figure this out. In Minnesota, we enacted enhanced red flag laws and background checks. There are countries around the

JD Vance just blamed our gun violence crisis on mental health, claiming that we have "way higher rates of depression." But compared to peer nations, the US has similar rates of mental health issues and a 26x higher gun homicide rate. Not to mention: Donald Trump attempted to gut

"Just because you have a mental health issue, doesn't mean you're violent. I think what we end up doing is looking for a scapegoat. Sometimes it just IS THE GUNS." —Tim Walz's incredible, compassionate answer on solving gun violence w/out targeting disabled ppl❤️#VPDebate2024

Are more cops the answer to gun violence? It didn’t work in Parkland. And it didn’t work in Uvalde. We’ve tried just adding more guns and more cops. It hasn’t worked and it won’t wait until we address how easy it is to get guns.

Anti-Q2 folks: Stop saying Question 2 "gets rid of MCAS." Opponents of Question 2 are lying to you to try and win through deception. IT DOES NOT GET RID OF MCAS. PERIOD. We will still have MCAS as an "evaluative tool." Please vote hard for #YesOn2! wwlp.com/news/state-pol…

Guns are the leading killer of children and teens in this country, but Kamala Harris and Tim Walz know it doesn't have to be this way. Both have championed historic actions to reduce gun violence. Meanwhile, Trump and Vance have vowed to weaken gun safety laws. Vote like your
