Remembering Dana

Alliance For Gun Responsibility Foundation   Hi John, September is National Suicide Awareness Month. But for me, I think about suicide every day of every month, and have been for almost 10 years. I think about how my beautiful daughter, Dana, took her own life with a …

This is unacceptable (250 more responses needed)

There is no reason for the Senate to delay passing this lifesaving legislation – yet there hasn't even been a debate. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

It’s Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Alliance For Gun Responsibility Foundation     John,   On average, someone dies by suicide every eight hours in Washington State and almost half of those suicides are carried out with a firearm. That means - statistically speaking - that today someone in Washington State wil…

Moving in the wrong direction

This is horrifying, John: Less than a month after a shooting left 22 dead in El Paso, seven more people were murdered in a rampage near Odessa, Texas, over the weekend.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

The grieving continues

Alliance For Gun Responsibility Foundation     John,   You know by now that on Saturday, as Americans across the country were celebrating the holiday weekend, terror struck West Texas when a shooter killed seven and wounded at least 21 others in a drive-by mass shooting.   Ou…

You're a part of something special

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer said that our team has "turned the tables" on the NRA in Washington State. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ …

the Senate is still on vacation

Action in the name of justice

All too often in America, hate and gun violence combine with tragic and violent results. We've seen this play out far too many times in recent months, in communities from El Paso to Poway to Pittsburgh. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

A common link: High-capacity magazines

Countless families have had their lives changed forever – because deadly accessories like high-capacity magazines are bought and sold with seemingly no restrictions.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

re: Our national nightmare

Our national nightmare

Mass shooters terrorized two more American cities this weekend, killing at least 29 people and wounding dozens more in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ …

Asking one more time

  We are so close, John – but we're still behind our critical match goal to help keep weapons of war out of dangerous hands. Your gift, right now, will be DOUBLED and help save lives from gun violence – but only until midnight. Can we count on you to give $5 now to help protect I-1639? …

The night my son was shot

John, three years ago today, I was awakened by the police at my door with the news that every parent dreads: My son, Will, had been shot at a friend’s house in our hometown of Mukilteo, and I needed to get to the hospital right away. My thoughts immediately turned to the worst. In th…

we only have 72 hours

The gun lobby's lawyers are still coming after I-1639, John – and if their lawsuit is successful, this groundbreaking initiative will be in serious trouble. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

the NRA's lawyers still won't quit

  The NRA is still suing us in federal court, and it's a serious threat to the future of I-1639. Last year, we fought harder than ever to pass I-1639, but gun sellers across the state are still promoting widespread access to semi-automatic rifles and other weapons of war – and some she…

Route 91

I want to share my story with you, John. Before I survived the tragedy in Las Vegas, I never thought of myself as an advocate or considered the need for gun safety reform. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ …
