NEW: Everytown Launches the Everytown Center for the Defense of Gun Safety to Protect Gun Safety Laws Across the Country
John,
After the Supreme Court's wrong and dangerous decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, lower courts across the country will have to change the way they evaluate new challenges to gun safety laws—and those new challenges have already started, with the gun lobby promising many more will soon be filed.
That's why today, we launched the Everytown Center for the Defense of Gun Safety.
Gun violence is one of the most important threats we face as a society—in fact, it's now the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. The Everytown Center for the Defense of Gun Safety will leverage all of our legal resources to defend against the gun lobby's legal attacks and preserve the ability of state and local governments to enact and enforce gun safety laws that will help save lives.
This new project will lead the way in shaping the future of gun safety litigation alongside our allies and partners. We will work with state Attorneys General and local government lawyers to defeat the gun lobby's dangerous agenda by demonstrating that life-saving gun laws are constitutional under the new framework set forth in the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.
The Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund works to change the culture of gun safety in this country through litigation, research, and education. Your donation helps fuel our efforts to advance gun safety in the courts and supports a national network of gun violence survivors, groundbreaking research, educational programs, and so much more.
Thank you for being with us,
Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund
