John, tomorrow marks eight years since police officer Bradley Fox, a Marine Corps veteran who survived two tours in Iraq, was shot and killed in the line of duty by a prohibited purchaser. For years, our Brady Legal team took up the fight for justice for Officer Fox and his family. And, despite special protections enjoyed by the gun lobby, we won.

As part of Brady’s winning lawsuit, In Site Firearms — the gun dealer that illegally sold the murder weapon — agreed to major reforms, including improved employee training and oversight and providing compensation for Officer Fox’s widow and children. They even agreed to publicly display Officer Fox’s picture at their shop with a description of the company’s role in his death.

These common-sense gun industry reforms will save lives. And they send a message to every reckless gun dealer: You are not above the law.

For more than 30 years now, Brady Legal has had extraordinary success in using the courtroom to hold reckless gun dealers accountable. But we also desperately need stronger federal laws to hold the most negligent dealers accountable for fueling America’s epidemic of gun violence. That's why we need to pass the Firearms Retailer Code of Conduct Act. This lifesaving bill, which was introduced just last month, would establish common-sense requirements for gun dealers to stop the diversion of firearms into the illegal market.

Brady Legal is proud to secure justice in the courts for the Fox family. But we need a federal law to hold negligent gun dealers accountable for fueiling gun violence. That's why we need to pass the The Firearms Retailer Code of Conduct Act. [[link removed]?] It establishes common-sense requirements for gun dealers to stop the diversion of firearms into the illegal market — like the one who killed officer Fox.

John, we need to make this bill the first — yes, first — federal law to hold gun dealers accountable for their negligence. For Officer Fox and countless others, can you urge your representative to cosponsor this lifesaving legislation? [[link removed]?]CONTACT YOUR REP. >>> [[link removed]?]

In the U.S., we lose 63 people a day to gun suicide — more than those who are lost to firearm murders and unintentional shootings combined. In fact, over half of all gun deaths in America (61%) are suicides. Next week, our End Family Fire program is launching a multimedia campaign on safe gun storage as a means to prevent gun suicide. Please join us for our virtual launch event on Facebook, “Ending Family Fire: A Gun Suicide Prevention Conversation. [[link removed]] ” Simply click "Get a Reminder" and you'll be notified when we're live on Wednesday, September 16, at 3 p.m. ET.

Debbie Plotnick, Mental Health America

Dr. Joseph Sakran, This is Our Lane

Caitlin Thompson, PhD, Cohen Veterans Network

[[link removed]] Amid the movement for police reform and demands for public safety, we're proud to support a landmark California bill called the Community Response Initiative to Strengthen Emergency Systems (CRISES) Act [[link removed]] . Introduced by Assemblymember Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles), this lifesaving legislation will fund community-based alternatives to policing for people experiencing mental health crises.

The CRISES Act is an example of a common-sense legislative solution to protect vulnerable communities. In San Francisco, for example, police officials estimate that as high as 80% of calls to police [[link removed]] are for people in mental crisis. The CRISES Act would provide vital grant funding for community-based professionals who are trained in de-escalating and resolving crises. This legislation is on Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk for signature, and we need to make sure he signs it!

Send a tweet thanking Assemblymember Kamlager and urge Gov. Newsom to sign the CRISES Act! [[link removed]]

[link removed] [[link removed]] "It has become clear that D.C. needs to take a new approach to addressing gun violence. Following a surge in homicides and a damning report that D.C.’s initiative to “crack down” on gun crimes operated in a discriminatory manner, targeting Black residents almost exclusively, it’s clear, too, that the city must adopt an approach that doesn’t harm Black and brown residents and actually prevents gun violence from occurring. We must invest in communities where violence is concentrated to resolve conflict and prevent violence, while targeting the flow of illegal guns into the city. In short, we need to adopt the mind-set: Are we addressing the symptom or the root cause"?
