NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association’s Post

🚨**Attention Everyone:**🚨 Please remember, guns should not be used to celebrate—they are dangerous firearms, not toys or fireworks. Do not use them to mark your 4th of July festivities tonight. Your children are watching, and the example you set matters greatly. Please, just don't do it. Kids, if you see an adult with a weapon tonight, stay back, walk away, and find a responsible adult immediately. It's never okay to handle a weapon while you are joking, drinking or being silly. GRASP is genuinely concerned for everyone's safety tonight. Celebratory gunfire can lead to deadly consequences and is classified as deadly conduct, a Class A misdemeanor. Be safe RGV! Have a safe and happy 4th of July! #GRASPCARES #safetyfirst #gunsafety #gunawareness #responsibility #wecan #safety #kidpower #knowledgesaveslives #gunresponsibility #parentscare #nochances #beaware #knowmore #graspit #besmart #nomore #nonprofit #domore

“After a mass shooting, your community will become a circus of media, well-wishers, gun violence prevention groups, those wanting TV exposure to promote their own organization for fundraising opportunities, self described “experts” also wanting media attention, and inappropriate calls for museum archiving for temporary memorials before family members are even buried. You will also be inundated with calls from from community non profits from other mass shootings offering their “help”. Depending on the nonprofit, what they tell you may result in the retraumatization and revictimization of those suffering most.” Visit VictimsFirst.org to learn best practices.

Stop Soldier Suicide, a veteran-founded organization, has a mission to reduce service member and veteran suicide. One way they accomplish this is through hosting monthly challenges to raise awareness for their mission. You can view (and join!) current challenges here: https://lnkd.in/g6EaXPn6

I celebrate anyone and everyone compassionate enough to take action against gun violence. And while I applaud BBH's intentions and efforts, I challenge them and YOU to do more.   So, what can YOU do about it besides #RepostYourRage? Visit https://lnkd.in/gEpXD73B for a full list of supporting links for the following:   1.EMPOWER YOURSELF with a deeper understanding of the issues, policies, and opportunities for improvement. Gun nuts and political stooges rely on logical fallacies, one-off anecdotes, and cognitive biases to argue against life-saving solutions. But the data and empirical research is clear; smarter gun laws are proven to statistically reduce gun-related violence and homicides. Arm yourself with the facts.   2.HOLD YOUR POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES ACCOUNTABLE. Make your voice heard at all levels of government. Message, email, call, write letters, show up in person, and demand policy change.   3.VOTE in primaries, mid-terms, and general elections. If our elected officials don’t take immediate action, then we need to seat representatives who are genuinely committed to enacting smarter gun laws and saving lives.   4.JOIN, SUPPORT, & DONATE to non-profits promoting change. National organizations and local chapters publish newsletters, share resources and regularly host events. Grab a friend, make a pledge, and get involved.   5.VOLUNTEER locally. It’s understandable why mass shootings grab national headlines, but gun violence exists in many forms: gang violence, domestic violence, veteran suicides, etc.. Find a cause and organization near you. Your time and presence are just as valuable if not more so than financial contributions.   6.EMPATHIZE. Humanize the victims and embrace compassion for their families. No one that blindly advocates against smarter gun laws has this ability; thus, it is our competitive advantage in this fight for change. Fred Guttenberg lost his brother to the 9/11 attack and his daughter in the Parkland School Shooting. Check out his book, Find The Helpers, a moving perspective on recovery, purpose, and hope.   7. RECRUIT YOUR SQUAD. We are stronger together. Find and embrace the family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who share your compassion and drive. Motivate, collaborate, and mobilize together. You can start by inviting your network to join or start a local chapter with you.   8.DEFEND THE TRUTH. The NRA has a large majority of the GOP in their pockets, and together they have attempted to obfuscate the reality of this very real and deadly public health crisis. Armed with memes, tweets, and other bullshit talking points, they have poisoned so much of the conversation on this topic and convinced far too many that this isn’t a problem that they have the ability to fix. It’s time we ALL stand up to their nonsense and call out bullshit when we see it.   NOW is the time to #Educate #Advocate #Donate #Volunteer and #Vote

“Dear Patriots, if you’re tired of the uniparty, the hostility towards POTUS Trump, the invasion, being exploited by Ukraine, and the attacks on our freedom of speech, then I need your support to take a stand in Congress against this unjust system. Each year in Congress, *I commit to voluntarily disclosing my tax returns. *I will not cast a vote on major bills without first consulting with the Local District/Precinct Committee. *I will actively recruit Precinct Committeemen and *fundraise for Local Districts in CD4. Together, we can make a real difference. Time is running out, and we need God-loving, Patriot fighters now more than ever. Can I count on at least 25 Patriots to donate $25 today?” https://lnkd.in/g_xdawPB #JeroneDavisonforCongress https://lnkd.in/gz26hgYM
