"If the political right were actually concerned with the physical and emotional safety of youth as it purports to be, it would support effective firearms safety measures, since gun violence today remains the number one cause of death for young people ages 1-19, at a rate of nearly 5 in every 100,000. Black children are six times more likely to die of gun violence than their peers of other groups."

Scalia was wrong. Two new databases of English writing from the founding era confirm that “bear arms” is a military term. Non-military uses of “bear arms” are not just rare — they’re almost nonexistent. washingtonpost.com/opinions/an

Social media companies are responsible for algorithms promoting violent content and should be held accountable.

Yes, watching a video on made children more cautious when they discovered a gun.

It’s a simple but effective method to help decrease the increasing and heartbreaking statistics of gun-related deaths in the U.S.

Don’t get too comfortable. It’s about time for yet another horrific mass shooting that could have been prevented were it not for the NRA and its purchased congressional Republican tools.

California is the epicenter of American gun violence research, largely because it maintains an extensive repository of firearms data.

A lawsuit brought by gun-rights activists now threatens that longstanding data infrastructure.

Even a 1-minute gun safety video got 8-12 year-olds to behave more responsibly when allowed to find a fake gun, one week later.

Finally! BEGINNING to get around stupid laws preventing our collection of data on firearms injuries. CDC helping states address gun injuries after years of political roadblocks npr.org/2023/07/07/1184739094/ ...
Can't fix a problem without any information about it (but, that was probably the point).

Fire, not firecrackers, on the 4th: The disconnect between overwhelming US support for commonsense gun controls & the failure to enact them nationwide is among the strongest evidence of the nation's antidemocratic drift, driven by a radicalized GOP.

I'm cutting Horace off. The idiot doesn't understand a cigarette lighter shaped like a gun is not funny. I'm not getting arrested or shot for hanging out with him.

"A pregnant mother and her unborn child were fatally shot inside their Ohio home after her 2-year-old son mistakenly got a hold of his father’s handgun, police said Tuesday."

He didn't "mistakenly" do anything. His parents were criminally negligent, and death was the result. How many times does this story need to repeat itself before people start locking up their fucking firearms?
