Your toolkit for fighting misinformation this holiday season

Hi–

You've probably heard this one before: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Maybe you've even heard it from loved ones at your own holiday table.

Myths about guns, gun violence, and gun safety laws in America are, unfortunately, widespread. And arguing with family and loved ones about these misconceptions may feel especially difficult. That's why we developed Fork Over the Facts—a resource to help you debunk misinformation this holiday season.

SEE THE FACTS

A screenshot from a Zoom call between our three characters from the gun industry: Don, the Greedy Gunmaker, Gary, the Rogue Seller, and Leslie, the Tricky Marketer.

Myths like this one are a distraction from how gun violence impacts our communities: every day, 125 Americans are killed with guns.

Knowing how to respond to these myths in the moment can be challenging, but having these difficult conversations is an important first step toward creating safer communities.

Take a few minutes this holiday season to learn how to combat misinformation. We can put an end to gun violence, one conversation at a time.

Thank you for being with us,
