Gun Politics is Killing Children
Republicans have made fighting gun safety a cornerstone of their political identity and the result is murder.
Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and in 2020 guns killed more than 45,000 Americans. We now average more mass shooting than days in the United States. Shamelessly, the NRA is hosting Donald Trump at their annual “Legislative Action” conference this weekend - near Uvalde, Texas where a lone gunman killed 19 elementary school children and two teachers this week.

Former president Donald Trump will headline a forum at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Houston this Friday — about a four-hour drive from where a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Tex., killed at least 19 children and two teachers on Tuesday.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr furiously reacted to the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that killed at least 19 children and two adults, calling on the Senate to pass legislation that would establish background check requirements for gun sales and more.
