Brady Urges the Senate to Reject Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Nomination to the Supreme Court
This week, without any members of the minority party present, the Senate Judiciary Committee rushed through a vote [[link removed]] to send the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the full Senate for consideration. Not only is this contrary to the precedent Senate Majority Leader McConnell set in 2016, but it also goes against the will of the majority of Americans.

A lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land shouldn’t be rushed in such a hypocritical, undemocratic process. The next Justice will hear cases that decide Americans' most fundamental rights, including the right to enact strong gun laws to protect their communities, laws to preserve and expand healthcare access, and laws to advance racial and social justice.

Brady's Combating Crime Guns Program in Milwaukee Draws Local Attention

This week, we presented our Milwaukee-based initiative of our Combating Crime Guns Program [[link removed]] at Milwaukee’s ”Data Day 2020, a city-wide gathering of community leaders, data scientists, government officials, researchers, funders, and more. Experts meet to share innovative and effective practices in using data to understand and take action on issues facing our communities, like gun violence.

At Data Day 2019, Brady’s Milwaukee Combating Crime Guns Program Manager Anneliese Dickman won the Data Dream for her presentation on the need for better data on gun dealer behavior. Brady is the only national gun violence prevention organization that takes a supply-side approach [[link removed]] to hold negligent gun industry actors accountable for their role in fueling the gun violence epidemic.

Over the past year, Brady has benefited greatly from the $5,000 pro bono data analysis from Data You Can Use, the host of Milwaukee’s "Data Day." You can watch our presentation and analysis of gun dealer regulatory violations in a short, five minute presentation as part of Data Day 2020, which was held on October 21.

Brady’s podcast, “Red, Blue, and Brady,” explores the epidemic of gun violence in America — with moments of levity and fun. New episodes include:

🎧 Law Enforcement, Suicide, and Blue Help [[link removed]]
Police officers are at a higher risk of suicide than any other profession. To discuss why these rates are so high amongst law enforcement, and what people can do to decrease rates of firearm suicide, host JJ is joined by Brady President Kris Brown and Steve Hough of Blue HELP.

🎧 Looking for the Helpers with Fred Guttenberg [[link removed]]
Fred Guttenberg — who is the father of 14-year-old Jaime Guttenberg, who was shot and killed in the Parkland massacre — loved watching Mr. Rogers with Jaime and her brother when they were little. Their favorite piece of wisdom was: In the midst of tragedy and catastrophe, "find the helpers." Fred has carried this life lesson with him, and is now sharing it in his new book, "Find the Helpers: What 9/11 and Parkland Taught Me About Recovery, Purpose, and Hope."

🎧 Finally, A PLCAA Victory! [[link removed]]
Weeks ago, a Pennsylvania court held that the federal gun industry protection law, the Protection of the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is unconstitutional in its entirety. What does it mean, and where do we go from here?

[[link removed]]Every day in America, 63 Americans die from firearm suicide by gun and eight children and teens are unintentionally injured or killed due to an unlocked or unsupervised gun in the home. In partnership with the Ad Council, Brady's End Family Fire [[link removed]] program speaks to gun owners about safe gun storage as a means to prevent gun suicide and unintentional shootings.

Our new, national PSA showcases the importance of storing firearms safely, and reveals what happens if they are not. This week, we received an anonymous letter from a mother who said our new PSA "saved her son's life" and moved her and her husband to purchase a gun safe for the first time. Letters like this underscore how educating others about safe firearm storage practices can truly save lives.
