Eight years ago, 11 Jewish worshippers were killed in a shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. We remember the victims, stand with survivors and their families, and reaffirm our commitment to disarming hate and preventing gun violence.

🎥 In "In Guns We Trust," two Australians travel the U.S. to explore diverse perspectives on guns, safety, and freedom. Brady’s Dr. @JosephSakran shares his expertise on the physical and mental trauma of gun violence. Watch the film: bit.ly/3WtNtuz

Over the weekend, at least 12 people were injured, including six kids and teens, in a shooting near Florida A&M University after the HBCU's homecoming football game. Our communities deserve to gather, celebrate, and live without fear of gun violence. nyti.ms/3VXutof

Three years later, we remember the 18 people killed and 13 injured in the Lewiston, Maine, shooting. We stand with survivors, families, and a grieving community. Remembrance must fuel action: We must do everything in our power to prevent future tragedies and end gun violence.

Last night NY @GovKathyHochul signed Francesco's Law - to increase secure storage of firearms and prevent tragedies like firearm suicide. This was years in the making and we are so grateful to all of those — including Francesco's mom — who got us across the finish line.

No parent should worry that their child will not come home from school. My heart breaks for Rhoam's family. At 5 years old, he had his whole life ahead of him. Gun violence is preventable. We do not have to live this way. newsweek.com/who-was-rhoam-s…

The NRA wants you to focus on how this was stopped, but the focus should be on how it started: a system that allowed a gun in the hands of a 16-year-old. By the time anyone could stop him, a 5-year-old, an 8-year-old, an 11-year-old, and their teacher were already dead. That’s not a reminder of anything except what our leaders failed to prevent.

76% of school shooters get their gun from the home. Parents, and all adults, can keep our homes, schools, and communities safe by always storing all firearms locked, unloaded, and away from ammo. Safe storage saves lives. Together, we can #EndFamilyFire.

An active shooting at an Oregon elementary school has left multiple people injured, including children. As we wait to learn more, let's remember what we already know: school shootings are not inevitable; they are not normal; and they are not acceptable. cnn.it/4yhoJCZ

🚨 JUST IN: The ATF is allowing silencers, short-barreled rifles, and “sawed-off” shotguns to be bought or made without a background check nationwide, following a Texas judge’s ruling. The agency’s sweeping move dismantles longstanding safeguards and puts lives at risk.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As that same letter says on a subsequent page, the affected items still require background checks as any other firearm does (suppressors are also classified as firearms under the Gun Control Act). This page links to the full ATF letter: atf.gov/news/press-rel…

In April, the Trump admin proposed 34 ATF rule changes to roll back gun violence protections. Brady advocates weighed in, contributing to the 38k+ public comments submitted. @teamtrace found an interesting divide between gun businesses and their customers. bit.ly/4jRiDpg

It's the last day the DOJ can appeal a court ruling that overturned century-old regulations on silencers, short-barreled rifles, and “sawed-off” shotguns. But the agency wasted no time, announcing Thursday that it wouldn't appeal. bit.ly/4xUlxgk

Incredibly alarming that DOJ has declared it will not appeal the ruling that struck down the nearly 100-yr-old requirements for silencers, short-barreled rifles, and “sawed-off” shotguns. These uniquely lethal devices can eviscerate public safety. bit.ly/4xUlxgk

9 years ago, Geena Springmann went to a music festival with her sister and friends. What started as a fun night turned into a nightmare when 1,000 rounds were fired into the crowd. Now she has one plea: protect our communities from assault weapons. bit.ly/3TtX5o9

Today marks the 9th anniversary of the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. when a gunman with an AR-15 killed 60 people and wounded more than 400 others in Las Vegas, NV. SCOTUS will soon hear arguments challenging assault-weapon bans. But let's be clear—these laws save lives.

Pres. Trump told the DOJ NOT to appeal the federal court ruling that makes it easier to obtain short-barreled firearms & silencers. We need to get loud — time is running out! Demand AG Todd Blanche appeal this deadly ruling BEFORE the Oct 5 deadline! --> bradyunited.org/nfa

On Friday, the Department of Justice announced that it considers a federal ban on handgun sales to adults under 21 to be unconstitutional. This provision has protected public safety for generations - this decision will simply make us all less safe. bit.ly/4roqGM1

On Dec. 2, SCOTUS will hear arguments in the challenge against local and state regulations of assault weapons. There is overwhelming evidence to support these laws' constitutionality and life-saving impact. No matter what, we won't stop fighting to keep our communities safe!
