Dear John,
This year, our movement made incredible gains in states across the
country.
From passing landmark gun safety legislation to defeating dangerous gun
lobby-backed bills, here are just a few of the highlights of what we
accomplished in 2020:
* In Virginia, our newly elected Gun Sense Majority followed through on
its promises once they took office, passing landmark legislation that
included background checks on all gun sales and extreme risk
legislation.
* New Mexico enacted an extreme risk law, showing lawmakers' continued
commitment to gun safety a year after the state required background
checks on all gun sales. There are now 19 states with this life-saving
legislation.
* Rhode Island and Hawaii became the latest states to prohibit ghost
guns, taking action to address this growing threat to public safety.
* Seventeen states rejected bills that would have allowed people to
carry a hidden, loaded handgun in public without a permit.
* Fifteen states rejected bills that would have allowed guns into K-12
schools.
* We began work on Everytown's new police reform platform, affirming
police violence is gun violence. Twelve states passed legislation this
year enacting changes to raise standards, promote transparency and
accountability, and help prevent shootings by the police.
But as we prepare for 2021, state legislatures across the country will
reconvene starting in January and you can bet that the gun lobby will
continue to pursue its dangerous "guns everywhere" agenda. [ [link removed] ]We need to
