Texas Gun Sense

The shooting at a political rally this weekend cements one thing: we need stronger gun laws. Unfettered access to weapons of war means that no one, not even a former President, is safe from the threat of gun violence. We look to our lawmakers for leadership in times of crisis. We need everyone in a position of power to speak up and call for common sense gun laws that will save lives — including raising the age to 21 to purchase semi-automatic rifles like the one used at Saturday’s shooting. https://lnkd.in/gEHNeXYV

We grieve for the individuals and families harmed by the shooting at the Trump rally this weekend. No one should experience senseless gun violence. #EndGunViolence

It shouldn’t be easier to access bullets than mental health care. The Texas Legislature is failing Texans by not prioritizing safety and well-being through passing common sense gun laws. Join us in our work to make Texas a place where safety comes first: https://lnkd.in/gQE6ET6y https://lnkd.in/g_gxssbx

"I serve on the board of Texas Gun Sense. I joined the board after the tragedy in Uvalde - as a mother of two young kids in elementary school, it hit too close to home for me, and TGS is a non-partisan organization doing so much great work to help make Texas safer. Please consider becoming a sponsor of our Fall Fundraiser, A Safer Texas. This event funds advocacy and programs with the power to save lives."- Jaime Thompson, Board of Directors Support our work with your sponsorship today: https://lnkd.in/gBeBWbUm

It's been over a month since Texas has been less safe than the rest of the country. Attorney General Ken Paxton has blocked the ATF rule that expands background checks on gun sales in Texas, which went into effect nationwide on May 20th. We call on Ken Paxton to drop the order against this life-saving rule. https://lnkd.in/geMSxDeE
