From 2003 to 2022, more than 87,000 veterans died by gun suicide. That's an average of 13 veterans a day dying by suicide with a firearm. These tragedies are preventable, and our elected leaders have a responsibility to end this devastating crisis. Now, Congress has the opportunity to act. The bipartisan Saving Our Veterans Lives Act is a major step forward in the fight to prevent veteran suicide. But for this bill to move forward, lawmakers need to hear from gun safety supporters like you right now: Send a message urging your lawmakers to support the Saving Our Veterans Live Act.
This bipartisan legislation would direct the VA to offer free gun lock boxes and secure storage information to veterans who request them. It's a simple, and effective step to address the risk of suicide during moments of crisis. We honor the sacrifice of those who served our country by doing everything we can to protect them when they return home. That means passing common-sense measures like this one. John, send a message today urging them to support the Saving Our Veterans Lives Act.
Veterans fought for us. Now it's our turn to fight for them. Thank you for standing with our veterans and being a part of our gun safety movement. Everytown for Gun Safety  |
