This case is a matter of life and death for those impacted by domestic violence, and we need your help sending a clear message to the U.S. Supreme Court, John.

Soon, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear U.S. v Rahimi . This case stems from 2020 when a Texas man was involved in five separate shootings. He was convicted for possessing firearms while under a domestic violence restraining order that prohibited him from doing so. In the aftermath, he challenged the very law that led to his conviction in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals — and he was shockingly successful.

Now, the case heads to the Supreme Court, which will determine whether a domestic abuser has the right to own a firearm.

The facts speak for themselves. Firearms are the most common weapons used in domestic violence homicides. The mere presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation makes it five times as likely that a woman will be killed. If the Supreme Court allows the Fifth Circuit Court decision in the case to stand, the outcome would be deadly — particularly for domestic violence victims, survivors, and children. Everyone is safer when abusers don’t have access to firearms. Period.

That’s why this week, Brady, alongside two dozen coalition partners, filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to protect survivors of domestic abuse and overturn the Fifth Circuit Court’s reckless ruling. And now we need your show of support.

Lives are at risk. Gun violence prevention laws are at risk. In light of the NRA-backed Bruen decision that the court handed down last year, we need to do everything in our power to stop another Supreme Court decision in favor of the gun lobby — and you can help us, John.

Will you join us in urging the Supreme Court to keep guns away from domestic abusers? The NRA and its allies will stop at nothing to win this case, and it’s up to us to help reject this lethal interpretation of the Second Amendment. Please sign on today. [[link removed]]

Dr. Sakran calling for a federal ban on assault weapons alongside medical professionals from across the country.

We’re proud to announce that Dr. Joseph Sakran, Brady’s board chair and lead trauma surgeon at John Hopkins, was awarded [[link removed]] the Fred Rogers Institute Helper Award! This prestigious award honors and recognizes individuals who care for children and communities in extraordinary ways in their daily and professional lives.

An award-winning surgeon, researcher, and pioneer in promoting firearm injury prevention, Dr. Sakran’s dedication to his field is rooted in his lived experience. At the age of 17, Dr. Sakran was nearly killed by a 38-caliber bullet. The doctors and nurses who saved his life inspired him to pursue a career in medicine and public service.

In 2018, the National Rifle Association told doctors [[link removed]] concerned about gun violence to “stay in their lane” and avoid addressing the topic. In response, Dr. Sakran launched Brady’s @ThisIsOurLane [[link removed]?] campaign, mobilizing tens of thousands of healthcare professionals around gun violence prevention. He has also been honored for his pioneering research on physicians’ role in educating patients on safe gun storage

[[link removed]] , and has testified multiple times in front of Congress on gun violence prevention.

Joe’s commitment to his patients and to uplifting the voices of healthcare professionals in the gun violence prevention movement is truly unmatched, and we are proud to have him leading Brady in the fight to save lives. Please join us in celebrating Joe and this tremendous honor on Twitter! [[link removed]]
