We've already won some huge victories in statehouses this year—but gun extremists want to undo our progress. We won't let that happen.
Make sure you know what's at stake, what we're demanding, and what we need to defend: See how District of Columbia stacks up against the rest on gun violence and gun safety.
From making it easier to carry guns in public spaces to gutting laws that disarm domestic abusers, industry actors and activist judges are making us less safe. They've made some dangerous and misguided decisions in the last year that threaten to put our lives at risk.
Yet despite these extreme court rulings, the door has not closed on gun safety. We've consistently proven that to be the case.
In statehouse sessions just this year, we've passed 75 new gun safety policies and defeated 182 of the gun lobby's bad bills. These victories include passing four new laws to hold the gun industry accountable for its role in this crisis, and securing $400 million in new funding for violence intervention programs and offices.
And our work in the courts is paying off. In several recent cases, the courts have sided with public safety and denied extreme attempts to gut our gun laws. We have not slowed down.
We're not just committed to defending our hard-won progress; we're here as long as it takes to end gun violence in every community.
We can create a future free from this crisis, but only if we know what's at stake: Check our Gun Law Rankings to see where District of Columbia stacks up on gun safety and gun violence.
Together, we can stop the "guns everywhere" agenda in its tracks.
Thank you for being a part of this movement.
Everytown for Gun Safety
