John, we've been making so much progress on gun safety in state legislatures—so this is infuriating:
Amidst our nation's gun violence crisis, MAGA extremists are not only trying to block new stronger gun laws—they're actively dismantling the good gun laws we already have in place.
Right now, gun-lobby backed members of the Florida state legislature are trying to undo a law passed after the tragic 2018 school shooting in Parkland.
In the months after the shooting, Florida lawmakers passed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, which raised the minimum age to buy guns to 21, and it closed the deadly "Charleston Loophole" that allows firearm purchases to proceed after three days even if a background check is not completed. If these radical lawmakers are successful, these life-saving protections will be dismantled—and some high school seniors in Florida could buy assault weapons.
Meanwhile, lawmakers in other states are doubling down on extreme gun policies to advance the gun lobby's "guns everywhere" agenda.
JUST THIS WEEK:
⚠️ The Kentucky Senate just voted to allow guns in schools.
⚠️ Wyoming lawmakers revived a bill that would push guns into government meeting spaces, schools, universities, and sporting events, while punishing anyone who refuses to allow guns in those places.
⚠️ Louisiana just became the 28th state to allow permitless carry: The new law effectively rolls back Louisiana's foundational gun safety policy that requires Louisianans to receive training and obtain a permit to carry a concealed firearm in public.
Here's the good news: We've still got allies who are ready to fight for gun safety in state legislatures across the country, and we're still making progress.
Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers show up year-round to demand action at school board meetings, statehouses, and U.S. Congress. They're organizing and educating in their communities and college campuses, and advocating for stronger gun laws that can save lives. Many of our volunteers have even run for elected office—and won.
But our volunteers can't do it all alone. Taking on the gun lobby means we need all the resources we can get, and your donation today can help us build a stronger movement tomorrow.
Donate today to make sure we have the resources we need to fight the gun lobby's extremism and work for a future free from gun violence.
Thank you for being with us,
Everytown for Gun Safety
