One year ago today, a gunman killed seven people & injured 48 more when he fired at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, IL. This Independence Day is a reminder that more must be done to ensure Americans can live free from the fear of gun violence.

Gun Sellers’ Message to Americans: Man Up (Published 2022)
