The Supreme Court has agreed to hear another major gun case next term, this time a challenge to the Biden-Harris Administration’s life-saving ghost gun rule. Ghost guns are real guns and must be treated as such. Upholding this rule will ensure they are. smokinggun.org/us-supreme-cou…

“Gun company executives now face a critical choice: Double down on their strategy of putting profits over public safety, or read the room & start taking basic steps to stop the carnage. They would be wise to consider the example of the NRA.” @JohnFeinblatt thehill.com/opinion/460751…

April 20, 2024, marks 25 years since two seniors at Columbine High School committed one of the most infamous school shootings in American history. Here, survivors of school shootings, including Columbine, share their stories. goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/10-…
Now, @Everytown and @TheHAVI have released a guide to help hospitals from coast to coast budget for and implement these critical violence intervention programs. I encourage those who are curious to learn more at the link below! (3/3) everytownresearch.org/report/hospita…
NEW: A growing body of research shows that hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) are an effective way to disrupt the cycle of gun violence by ensuring that wounded survivors & their loved ones have access to resources necessary for healing.
Experts at @Everytown & @TheHAVI have released a new costing tool to facilitate the implementation of hospital-based violence intervention programs, proven to reduce gun violence & associated care costs. Learn how to bring these life-saving programs to your hospitals below⬇️
The choice is clear: we can continue to pay for countless lives taken or altered forever by gun violence, or we can fund efforts like HVIPs, which provide survivors with the support they need to avoid reinjury. It’s a win-win. Learn more: #HVIPs everytownresearch.org/report/hospita…
A strong predictor of future violent injury is having been hospitalized for a past one. Studies show HVIP participants’ reinjury rates were at least half those of hospitalized survivors who didn’t participate. These programs can save hospitals and taxpayers significant amounts.
HVIPs reduce repeat hospitalizations of gunshot victims, decreasing both the human and financial toll of this violence. HVIPs meet gunshot survivors at their bedside and support them with non-medical needs that help with recovery and prevent reinjury and retaliation. #HVIPs
Excited to share a new guide from @Everytown and @TheHAVI for building a hospital-based violence intervention program (HVIP), including how to budget for and staff these lifesaving programs. #CommunitySafety everytownsupportfund.org/press/everytow…
As the @NRA has gone from invincible to invisible, the gun industry is losing the shield it's hidden behind for decades. Little by little, we are chipping away at their veneer of invincibility. My latest in @thehill: thehill.com/opinion/460751…

It’s been twenty-five years since two students, armed with assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, shot and killed 13 people and wounded almost twice as many others at Columbine High School.
