Reflecting on the Path Forward After Historic Movement on Both Sides of Gun Violence Prevention
Over the last several months, the country has endured the familiar and uniquely American heartbreak of multiple mass shootings. Then in June, an ideological Supreme Court decision struck down New York’s concealed carry laws which allowed for reasonable limits on guns in public. We also saw reason for hope though, after the first meaningful, bipartisan gun safety legislation in decades was signed into law.
The sharp juxtaposition of these events leaves Americans searching for answers about what comes next – both for those working to keep our communities safe from deadly firearms and those whose lives have been shattered by gun violence.
Read what we see as the path forward as we continue to grapple with tragedy and fight for a future where gun violence becomes a rarity.

A New National Survey Finds Broad Public Support for Police Reform Proposals in U.S.
A new national public opinion study led by researchers at the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds broad public support for policing reforms and investments in gun violence prevention.
According to the survey, more than three out of four U.S. adults (76 percent) support strategies where police and mental health professionals respond together to certain mental health or substance use situations. Seventy-two percent of respondents supported stronger police accountability and diversion from incarceration for individuals with behavioral health needs.
