Ken is a great friend of mine. Eric once was. This is how friends should hold friends accountable. Have the tough conversations.

“The provisions in this bill will not strip any responsible gun owners of their constitutional rights. It’s why this framework is supported by veterans and survivors like me.”

Powerful words from a good friend in Texas Amber Schleuning #DontLookAway

Retired Army General, former Ranger and Green Beret, Stan McChrystal, calls on the Senate to act.

'We're not asking them to be heroes. We just want them to do their jobs.'

The leading cause of death for US children & teens is gun violence

I fought in the military to protect Americans from violence; the Senate must too

I’ve been working on depictions of veterans in popular media for more than a decade; this is the best I’ve ever seen

We're revisiting our conversation with Chris Marvin where he talks about the importance of our civilian gun culture resembling the military.

“Keeping your guns securely stored at all times is an important tenet of military gun culture.” Watch episode 8 of #TalkingAboutGuns with Chris Marvin 👇 instagram.com/tv/CZPX25XIRs8…

On this week’s episode of #TAG we’re joined by Chris Marvin, founder and principal of Marvin Strategies, a strategic communications firm specializing in integrating veteran voices into complex social issues.

'In the civilian world, ghost guns and unsecured guns in the home belie these tenets of military gun culture.'

Wise words from @Aaron4Arizona

Why can't civilian gun culture look more like military gun culture? We'd all be safer.

'Some will argue, without evidence, we need school resource officers...in schools. As a combat veteran, I can tell you that adding more guns to the environment is never a recipe for safety, and data from across the country support that.'

National parks are a tangible representation of what I fought to protect in the military.

Now, we must to do more to protect our park lands from climate change. Read my latest contribution to USA TODAY for National Parks Conservation Association.

This sentence sufficiently describes how sad this all is. We’ll said ⁦Mike Jason⁩

“We described them variously as MiTTs, BiTTs, SPTTs, AfPak Hands, OMLT, PRTs, VSO, AAB, SFAB, IAG, MNSTC-I, SFAATs—each new term a chapter in a book without a plot.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

We need more public servants (like David Chipman who is the nominee to lead ATF HQ). He's a gun owner, a proud defender of the 2nd Amendment, & understands the importance of federal and state law enforcement’s efforts to combat and prevent violent crimes.

There were 450 shootings last weekend.

450! Let that sink in.🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe we should have a federal agency to look into that. Maybe that agency should have a leader. 🙄

#ConfirmChipman to be the first ATF director since 2015. Our fight against gun violence deserves a leader.

'..there is ample opportunity for pro-life Catholics to help shift gun policy in a way that is more closely aligned with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ position on guns.'
