www.bradyunited.org [www.bradyunited.org]John, these lies are enraging:
[link removed] [[link removed]]On average, 316 Americans are shot every day in America. Despite this bloodshed, the NRA wants us to believe that more guns everywhere will make us safer... And make no mistake, the NRA is dangerously serious about their “more guns everywhere” agenda — and it should be of grave concern to each and every one of us.
In less than three weeks, the NRA will argue before the highest court in the land — the United States Supreme Court — that all Americans should be free to carry firearms openly in public without ANY restrictions.
In other words, the NRA’s wildest dreams could come true: Americans will be free to shoot and kill in public, no questions asked. But we refuse to let this happen. [[link removed]] Brady Legal filed a brief to the Supreme Court on the side of the American people, defending our constitutional right not to be shot. And we’re rallying outside of the Supreme Court on November 3 with a clear message: gun laws save lives! '
The bottom line is that we’re gearing up for the fight of our lives against the NRA — and we need your urgent help, friend. Will you join Brady in defending our right not to be shot by signing onto our “People’s Amicus Brief?” We need to push back on the NRA’s reckless “guns everywhere” agenda and show the Supreme Court that we have the right not to be shot.

SIGN THE PEOPLE'S BRIEF >>> [[link removed]]Thank you for your advocacy and support,
Team Brady

Following mass shootings in America, the perpetrators of the violence often receive constant coverage and reporting, rather than those impacted. To discuss why that is, we’re joined by Team ENOUGH Executive Council members Stephan Abrams and Aalayah Eastmond, who is also a survivor of the Parkland massacre. We discuss the importance of the “ No Notoriety Campaign [[link removed]] ” and its mission of shifting attention from shooters to victims and survivors.

[[link removed]]This week, the gunman charged in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder. While this news is welcomed by many [[link removed]] , we cannot lose sight of this week’s gun violence prevention heroes of the week: the families, friends, and community devastated by this tragedy.
Today and every day, it is vitally important that we continue to uplift and support [[link removed]] those affected by this shooting. We must ensure their voices are front and center in the conversation to prevent yet another tragedy like Parkland. We at Brady stand with — and thank — all of the families, friends, and loved ones who have fought for change after such an insurmountable loss. We will never stop fighting to prioritize their needs and voices in the movement to end gun violence.
