Very excited about this new resource for state & local leaders working to implement extreme risk laws.

Extreme Risk laws are one of the best tools to prevent gun violence before it happens. 21 states & DC have them, but implementation varies widely. We’ve partnered with @JHU_CGVS on a guide of best practices for implementing these life-saving laws. 🧵everytownresearch.org/report…

No one better than @NeeraTanden46 to lead the admin's domestic policy agenda. A huge win.

Gun laws save lives, but only if they’re effectively implemented and enforced. That's why we're launching the Everytown Implementation Center; a first-of-its-kind effort to support state and local leaders in doing just that, starting with Red Flag laws. everytownsupportfund.org/pre…

Based on analysis of leaked data, we believe hundreds of people who signed up or expressed support for the Oath Keepers hold elected office or are members of law enforcement, first responders or military.

Deeply disturbing new analysis from @CAPAction. We should not allow this normalization of political violence.

NEW analysis from @CAPAction — At least 104 MAGA Republican ads this cycle display and feature firearms or weapons, blowtorches, and even “Tommy” gun auctions, with many including threats against opponents on both the left and right.

This morning, I signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law—the most significant gun safety law in the last 30 years. The bill:
—Includes red-flag laws
—Closes the “boyfriend loophole”
—Requires young people ages 18 to 21 to undergo enhanced background checks
And more.

The #SCOTUS decision striking down a gun safety law in NY is deeply disturbing. Our research shows guns are violent extremists' weapon of choice, enabling horrific mass casualty attacks. Policymakers must be able to enact strong gun laws to protect our communities.

🚨NEWS: We have a deal. Today a bipartisan group of 20 Senators (10 D and 10 R) is announcing a breakthrough agreement on gun violence - the first in 30 years - that will save lives.
I think you’ll be surprised at the scope of our framework.

Extreme risk protection order laws provide an important tool to help prevent fatal shootings by violent extremists. We applaud the House passage of this legislation and urge the Senate to quickly do the same. thehill.com/news/house/35173…

PSA for folks who are new to these issues: please do not call them "red flag laws." That terminology taps into stigma about mental illness. Use the catchy acronym ERPO instead!

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
