John- A House Committee in the Texas legislature met earlier this week to hear 17 gun bills. Among the slew of bills that would make Texas less safe, HB 2470 and HB 4201 would theoretically allow an 18 year old student to get a license and carry on their high school campus. This comes despite the fact that 3 of the 5 deadliest mass shootings since 2015 have taken place in Texas, including the deadly mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde. This is what happens when the gun lobby's agenda is carried out in state legislatures, and this is what we are actively fighting against every day—at the state level, in Congress, and even at school boards—in all 50 states and D.C. And not just that—we also play an active role in grassroots organizing and mobilization, supporting Gun Sense Candidates down the ballot, and so much more. But we need your help:
When we work together, we can achieve huge wins in this fight. We just secured three major gun safety victories in Colorado, a historic gun safety victory in Hawai'i, and we also helped a Gun Sense Candidate defeat her extremist, gun-lobby backed opponent in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race. We have volunteers on the ground advocating for stronger gun laws, educating on gun safety, organizing for Gun Sense Candidates, and fighting tooth and nail to prevent bills like these from being passed in every state. But we need your help to give us the fuel we need to be successful at every level. Thanks for playing a crucial role in this movement. –Everytown for Gun Safety  |
