Our work together

John, 40,000 people killed every year. 100 killed every day. Hundreds more injured. And countless more living in daily fear. John, we MUST do better. Our country is facing a gun violence epidemic, and we urgently need to act. For more than 45 years, Brady has been making strides t…

Mitch, do your job

John, The horrific tragedies in El Paso, Dayton, and Chicago earlier this month should have been a blaring wake-up call. Our nation is facing a gun violence epidemic. Yet the Senate has refused to take action to prevent future shootings. Bills that will make our communities safer ar…

Again and again and again

John, There are mass shootings now almost every single day. It’s unbelievable that this is becoming routine. There are school shootings and workplace shootings. This month alone, dozens were killed or injured in mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, Chicago, Philadelphia, and more. An…

Trump needs to listen

John, President Trump is furiously backpedaling. In the immediate wake of the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, he spoke of passing stronger gun laws. Then he started communicating constantly — sometimes a few times a day — with Wayne LaPierre and the NRA. Now, Trump’s dropped all …

In the courts...

John, The Senate is dragging its heels on gun reform. But at Brady, our work isn’t stopping. One of the most effective ways we fight back against gun violence is through our nation’s courts. Here’s how we fight in the courts to end gun violence: Force the gun industry to implemen…

this is an epidemic, John

John, Gun violence kills 100 people in America every day. This is a public health epidemic, and we need to start treating it like one. The first step to ending gun violence is to fully understand the issue so that we can identify and invest in solutions. However, the Senate is blockin…

I know first-hand

Take the membership survey!   Dear John, I know first-hand how frightened the citizens of El Paso must feel about being targeted by a white supremacist who had easy access to guns. A white supremacist stormed a Jewish day camp in California where my daughter Mindy was a 16-year-old camp counsel…

John, I just finished checking my records. We are now just $53.35 away from hitting our goal of raising $25,000 to help ban assault weapons. John, we’ve decided to extend this fundraising drive for just 12 hours longer to give you one more chance to donate and hit our goal. Will you b…

Trump thinks this is a joke

John, Last week, we all mourned the horrific murders in El Paso and Dayton. Donald Trump used the El Paso tragedy to boast about crowd sizes in front of the victims: John, gun violence is not a joke, despite what our President seems to think. People are dying every day. Help us …

Gun lobby’s message: do nothing

John, Just hours after Donald Trump casually said he would be open to passing background checks, he was warned by the NRA: No way. The NRA spent $30 million in 2016 to help elect Trump. Now, Wayne LaPierre is calling Trump to warn him to stay away from policy solutions supported by…

What Trump just said.
