John, Everytown's new research on the economic cost of gun violence is shocking.
In an average year, gun violence in America kills 40,000 people, wounds twice as many, and has an economic consequence of $557 billion to the United States. Right now, federal, state, and local governments are spending a combined average of nearly $35 million each day to deal with the aftermath of gun violence across the country.
Meanwhile, gun manufacturers rake in around $9 billion every year and face virtually no consequences for their role in enabling violence.
The Everytown Victory Fund is working to elect candidates who will hold them accountable. We need more leaders who are going to fight for the stronger gun laws we need to save lives. And if candidates put the gun industry's interests ahead of public safety, then we're going to defeat them at the ballot box.
The midterm elections are in just 112 days—and we need to be ready now. Your donation today will help elect candidates who will fight for gun safety. This can make all the difference in competitive races up and down the ballot.
