Jack,
In a stark change from its historical approach, the Supreme Court just expanded the scope of the Second Amendment, dealing a devastating blow to common-sense gun reform.
Striking down a 108-year-old concealed carry law in New York, the Supreme Court has opened up challenges to concealed carry laws across the nation, further deregulating guns and aggravating our gun violence crisis.
Let’s be clear: gun violence is a racial justice issue. When Black children and teens are 14 times more likely to die from gun violence, we can’t ignore these systemic inequities causing violence in our communities.
Will you join the New North Carolina Project in denouncing this devastating Court decision and calling for common-sense gun reform by signing our petition today? We need 500 signatures in the next 24 hours to show our leaders we won’t stand for this continued gun violence.
While we can’t predict the exact impact of this decision, we do know this: in the only nation with such extreme and widespread gun violence, there clearly is a way to prevent these senseless deaths.
Onward,
Team NNCP
