REMINDER: There is NO evidence that arming teachers makes our students safer.

But there are nearly 100 incidents where armed adults have fired or mishandled guns at schools in the past five years ⬇️

This week, a man shot and killed his wife and three of their children in Oklahoma City before turning the gun on himself. The OKC Police Sgt. said they “all died violently.”

A woman is 5x more likely to be killed if an abuser has access to a gun.

I am honored to have the endorsement of the Giffords PAC. Though I am proud of the progress we've made, I remain focused on sensible gun reform that ensures that our schools, places of worship and communities are free of the tragedy of gun violence.

NEW: Despite opposition from thousands of Tennesseans, state leaders just passed a bill to arm teachers.

Since the Covenant school shooting, lawmakers have done nothing to stop guns from falling into dangerous hands. This bill puts students at more risk.

I’m proud to again earn GIFFORDS’s endorsement for reelection — because as a veteran, a former prosecutor, & a mother of 4 school-aged children, I know how gun violence continues to shatter our communities. 

I’ll keep fighting like hell for common sense gun safety laws.

Today, we’re proud to endorse Chrissy Houlahan, Jake Auchincloss, @SethMoulton, and Mikie Sherrill for reelection!

As veterans, they’ve seen the destructive power of firearms and understand the urgency of this moment. They’re the leaders we need in DC protecting our communities.

Today, I’m thinking of my friend Shaundelle Brooks, whose son Akilah was shot and killed in the Nashville Waffle House shooting six years ago, along with DeEbony Groves, Joe Perez, and Taurean Sanderlin.

I’ll always work to build a safer future in their honor.

Six years ago today, a gunman killed four people and injured four others at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee.

The shooter was prohibited from having a gun, but our weak gun laws failed to stop him from getting one.

Akilah, DeEbony, Joe, and Taurean should still be here.

25 years since the Columbine shooting, a tragedy that shaped a generation. Today reinforces my resolve to fight for a future where gun violence doesn't steal away the people we love. We remember, we mourn, and we continue to turn our pain into action.

Last night, Gabrielle Giffords joined survivors and advocates for a vigil reflecting on the lives lost and the ones that were forever changed 25 years ago at Columbine High School.

Together, we will build a safer future for all.

25 years ago today, 13 people were shot and killed and 21 others were wounded at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.

For the generation of young people who have grown up since that horrific tragedy, gun violence is still their reality. It’s beyond time to change that.

With tomorrow marking 25 years since Columbine, we are thrilled to see the White House announce a new protocol for responding to mass shootings and surges in community gun violence.

With Joe Biden’s leadership, we’re taking strides towards a safer future.

Our government helps with recalls of defective products all the time.

But guns that discharge on their own—without warning or pulling the trigger—are still in circulation because the gun industry lobbied their way out of regulation.

We’re all less safe because of it.

Too many Nevadans have lost their lives to gun violence & even more have been left as survivors, wondering when it will happen again. As a survivor of gun violence myself, I brought AB286 so that no other Nevadan has to experience the trauma that I and so many have had to endure

We are failing our children.

In the 25 years since the shooting at Columbine High School, hundreds of thousands of students have experienced gun violence at school.

Schools should be places of learning—not of carnage.

NEW: The Nevada Supreme Court upheld the state's ghost gun law, effectively prohibiting sales nationwide from Nevada-based Polymer80, the largest supplier of ghost guns in the United States.

This is a major victory for public safety. giffords.org/articles/nevad…

School shootings and lockdown drills should not be the reality our children are forced to live in.

But 25 years after Columbine, gun violence has traumatized an entire generation of young people. We must elect more leaders who will put our kids before the gun lobby.

Yesterday, I spoke about the Governor's vetoes of commonsense gun violence prevention bills. The majority of Virginians support our bills to ensure safe storage & disarm violent abusers. Virginians demand action and we will continue fighting for them. youtu.be/svGth__pgag
