John, we need to stop the gun lobby's lies.

The gun lobby has been pushing so-called Stand Your Ground laws in states
across the country. But these laws have nothing to do with self-defense.
They make murder legal—letting people use deadly force as the first option
rather than the last, even when they can clearly and safely walk away.

That's why we're calling Stand Your Ground laws what they are: Shoot First
laws. These laws do nothing to deter crime. Instead, they encourage people
to shoot first and ask questions later.

If we're going to defeat the gun lobby's extreme agenda, we need to call
these deadly laws what they are. [ [link removed] ]Share this graphic on social media to
show you're not going to follow the gun lobby's playbook.

Research has shown these laws not only lead to more homicides every month,
they also disproportionately impact Black people: Homicides in which white
shooters kill Black victims have been deemed justifiable five times more
frequently than when the situation is reversed.

It's all further evidence that we need to stop the gun lobby's deadly
lies. Names have consequences. We're not going to let this extremism go
unanswered.

Right now, there are Shoot First laws in 29 states, but we're working to
stop the gun lobby and its allies from passing more. Meanwhile, in
Florida, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, we've already gotten lawmakers on
board with moving to repeal their own state's Shoot First laws.

We need to take back the narrative from the gun lobby's lies. [ [link removed] ]Share

understand what these laws actually do.

Thank you for being a part of this movement.
