Do you believe that gun violence should be a public health issue and not a political, ideological issue? Then, watch 91%: amazon.com/91-Film-About-… #enough #notonemore

Our film highlights that after every new mass shooting, there's a call to action for Congress to pass sensible gun control legislation. Yet no progress has been made. What are some ways we can foster change once media attention has died down?

2/3 of the 30,000 yearly gun deaths in the U.S. are due to suicide. Gun right advocates often use this data to dispel the idea that stronger gun regulations, (e.g. closing the person-to-person loophole), will decrease the number of fatalities. How can we reframe this dialogue?

A common pro-gun argument is that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. What does the data tell us, & what are some strategies - either social, legislative, or other - to dispel this misinformation?

Our film demonstrates how gun violence survivors have channeled their experiences into activism. If we live in a society in which policy doesn’t mirror what we actually want or ask for, then what can we as members of our community do?

Our film illustrates how states with tighter gun regulations often see an influx of guns from states with looser gun regulations via the “iron pipeline.” What are some policies that might combat the flow of guns across state lines?

According to our film, almost 80% of guns used in violent crimes were obtained via private transactions. In addition to requiring background checks on all gun purchases, what other policies might limit the number of privately purchased guns used in these violent crimes?

Every new gun we create represents an opportunity (or shortcut) for a criminal to use in order to take something from someone who worked hard for it. It’s time for Americans to start creating better opportunities for people than that.

This was written in mid-2019, but continues to become more relevant with each passing day. medium.com/@thesamlenz/th…

Many people are learning what it means to face the consequences of their actions right now. The next time you think about purchasing a gun, understand that there will likely be several people who will have to face the consequences of your action.
