Episode 191: The Supreme Court and the Future of Gun Laws in the U.S.

The Supreme Court just ruled in the NRA’s favor, allowing more Americans to carry concealed firearms in public spaces. What does this dangerous decision mean for existing and future gun laws? How could it impact your community? And where do we go from here?

To answer those questions and more, we’re joined by Dr. Alex McCourt of John Hopkins’ Center for Law and Public Health, Dr. Gerald E. Harmon, a physician and former president of the American Medical Association, Jon Lowy, chief counsel and vice president of Brady Legal, and Aalayah Eastmond, a gun violence survivor and Team ENOUGH Executive Council Member. 

Episode 192: Gun Violence and the Dating Partner Loophole

There is a 500 percent increase in the likelihood of homicide if a gun is available during a domestic abuse situation. 

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is a major step forward in addressing the lethal connection between firearms and domestic violence. It partially closes the so-called "dating loophole," in that domestic partners convicted of domestic abuse, rather than just spouses or former spouses, will no longer be able to purchase firearms.

But we're not across the finish line yet. Rachel Graber, the director of Public Policy at the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, joined us to explains what the bill does, what it doesn't do, how the recent Supreme Court decision will impact gun laws, and how we can all help address intimate partner violence.

July 4th Violence Leaves Democrats Frustrated Biden Not Doing More on Gun Control, The Hill

This week, President Biden awarded our great friend and partner Gabby Giffords with the Presidential Medal of Freedom — our nation’s highest civilian honor. 

Centering her entire life around public service, Gabby was the youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Senate. Years later, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and her life changed forever. In 2011, she was shot in the head  and nearly lost her life while meeting with her constituents.

Gabby spent years in intense recovery, battling trauma and learning how to walk and talk once again. But she never lost her voice. In the aftermath of the shooting, Gabby spoke out about what nearly ended her life and formed Giffords to drive action on gun safety. 

Gabby is an American hero and couldn’t be more deserving of this prestigious award. We at Brady thank Gabby from the bottom of our hearts for her tireless dedication to gun violence prevention. Please join us in recognizing Gabby, this week’s Gun Violence Prevention Hero! 

Thank you for supporting Brady and our work to prevent gun violence and save lives. We rely heavily on the generosity of activists like you to fund our work to create a safer America. If you're in this fight, please join Brady today by making a gift.
