Gun violence impacts all of us—and gun extremists want the courts to force
guns into every space and every situation, even if it's deadly.
From allowing guns in public spaces that put us in danger to experiencing
the daily impacts of gun violence in our communities, we want to hear how
the gun violence epidemic and gun extremists' deadly "guns everywhere"
agenda is impacting you.

Last year, the Supreme Court issued a dangerous and misguided ruling in
the Bruen decision, striking down a core component of New York's concealed
carry law that had been on the books for more than 100 years. It opened up
the courts to chaos and uncertainty, and cleared the way for extremist
judges to issue dangerous decisions.
It also gave gun extremists a clear call to action: Use the courts to
advance their radical, "guns everywhere" agenda.
In February, a dangerous and extreme decision from the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals in United States v. Rahimi held that it is unconstitutional to
prohibit people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from
having guns. The good news is that the Supreme Court has now agreed to
review Rahimi. If the Court correctly applies the Bruen decision, it
should reverse the dangerous Fifth Circuit decision and restore this
critical federal gun safety law.
A bad decision from the Supreme Court would be a death sentence for women
and families. Gun laws that protect victims of domestic abuse are common
sense, have a long history of bipartisan support, and are among the most
important public safety laws we have. People with dangerous, abusive, and
violent histories shouldn't be able to access a deadly weapon.
But just like gun extremists want to force more guns in more places, they
also want the courts to put more guns in the hands of dangerous
individuals.
Despite extremist decisions like the Fifth Circuit's, the door hasn't
closed on gun safety. Even though the Bruen decision was dangerous and
misguided, we've seen judges around the country side with gun safety.
And thanks to the help of Everytown Law's litigation team and the
grassroots volunteers across the country keeping up the fight, we're
making sure that our country's judges prioritize public safety.
As we prepare to continue our fight for gun safety in the Supreme Court,
we want to hear how you've been impacted by the gun violence crisis.
