Gun violence is a uniquely American problem, and every year, we lose thousands of people to this deadly epidemic. Enough is ENOUGH. We cannot wait another minute to demand action to keep our loved ones safe. Together, we can free America from gun violence.
So far in 2024, we have seen over 70 school shootings. One of the most recent tragedies occurred at Apalachee High School in Georgia, where a 14-year-old shooter killed four people and injured nine others.
Gun violence in America is deadly, traumatizing, and far too common. Recent Brady polling found that 77% of parents worry that their child’s school could become the site of a mass shooting. And their worries aren’t unfounded – in 2024, the U.S. has averaged 1.5 mass shootings every day.
But despite what the gun lobby and its allies claim, we know that these senseless tragedies are preventable. The number one source of guns used in school shootings is unsecured guns at home. In fact, 76% of school shooters under the age of 18 access their firearms from the home or the home of a close relative. Safe storage laws are a proven tactic that could help solve this tragic problem, and we’re continuing to call on Congress to ban assault weapons, expand Brady Background Checks, and more.
From our namesakes, Jim and Sarah Brady, to our network of grassroots chapters today, we know that together, we have the power to save lives. Are you with us?
