Friend, 

Today, President Biden [ [link removed] ]commemorated the passage of a historic piece of
legislation aimed at addressing gun violence in America. The Bipartisan
Safer Communities Act will encourage states to implement Extreme Risk
Protection Orders, close the dating partner loophole, and expand
background check information to include juvenile offenses for all
purchasers under the age of 21. You can read our full statement concerning
the bill [ [link removed] ]here and see our Tweet regarding the statement [ [link removed] ]here. We
were happy to attend this event commemorating the passage of the first gun
violence prevention bill to pass Congress in the last 20+ years.

We are grateful for this first step toward stopping gun violence. However,
we can and should do much more. From banning assault weapons to changing
the purchase age of these weapons, we know that common-sense gun violence
policies reduce gun violence overall. We know requiring states to
implement Extreme Risk Protection Orders helps address mass violence and
[ [link removed] ]suicides committed by firearm. Locally, we must update [ [link removed]'s%20firearm%20preemption%20law&text=This%20law%20prohibits%20local%20units,%2C%20firearm%20accessories%20and%20ammunition.%E2%80%9D ]Nevada’s
preemption law so local communities can decide what gun violence
prevention policies work best for them. It’s time for policymakers to stop
protecting the gun lobby and start listening to their constituents.

It is crucial we continue building on the momentum from the Bipartisan
Safer Communities Act by [ [link removed] ]reaching out to legislators and encouraging
them to support gun violence prevention policies during the next Nevada
Legislative Session in 2023. We can and will continue pushing policies to
address gun violence regardless of the opposition from the gun lobby &
their allies. 

We also encourage you to get involved with our [ [link removed] ]Storybank if you or
someone you know has been impacted by gun violence. We hope to share
stories of impacted individuals as we believe they are the best messengers
for change. 

Onward,
