A new CAP analysis of Gun Violence Archive data finds gun homicides are down by 13.1 percent nationally in 2024 compared with the same time in 2023. Mass shootings are also down 29.3 percent, and 70 of the most populous 100 U.S. cities experienced the same or fewer gun violence victimizations in 2024 compared with 2023. Earlier this year, CAP reported that 2023 gun violence data showed a historic overall single-year decline in gun homicides across the country. This decline was precipitated, however, by a record surge in gun violence at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which gun murders increased by 45 percent between 2019 and 2021. Consequently, even with the historic decline in U.S. murder and gun homicide rates in 2023, gun violence was still elevated last year nationally compared with prepandemic levels. Additionally, CAP’s analysis shows that gun homicides fell much faster in states with the strongest gun laws, while states with the weakest gun laws saw marginal improvements to public safety, if any. Now four years from March 2020 and with major public safety investments—such as the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and the American Rescue Plan Act—driving resources into communities most affected by the surge of gun violence, there is reason to be hopeful that the nation can build on this progress.

📣 Thrilled to share our recently published OpEd in The Tennessean. A collaboration of diverse voices – from pastors and professors to combat veterans and state troopers – focuses on their experience with the nation's first "Solution Session" by Starts With Us, addressing the critical issue of gun rights and safety. 🗣️ Their reflections serve as a roadmap to President Biden's newly minted Office of Gun Violence Prevention. They believe in striking a balance between safety and Second Amendment rights. This theme resounds deeply in Tennessee, where gun ownership is widespread, and gun violence rates are unfortunately high. 🤝 Open dialogue is essential, as is inviting diverse voices. Solutions come when we're open to challenging assumptions and engaging in difficult conversations. It's not about red or blue; it's about finding a collective way forward. 💡 They call for holistic thinking that addresses root causes, encourages education, and promotes community building. They advise the President's team to actively listen to citizens and embrace an "all hands on deck" approach. 🌍 The plane has been circling the airport; it's time for a safe and impactful landing. We stand ready to be part of nuanced, workable solutions. Let's listen to each other, learn from each other, and finally make meaningful progress on this pressing issue. #StartsWithUs #GunViolencePrevention #CivicEngagement #Tennessee11 #PublicSafety #SecondAmendment #SolutionSession

Suicide is the cause of 60% of all gun deaths (and higher in some places). When you or a family member are in crisis, it’s important to secure guns until the crisis passes. This initiative seems to be an effective strategy to temporarily secure guns to save lives.

Recent data shows that the number of Hispanic adults who own firearms has increased more than 33% since 2017. And yet, despite over a quarter of Hispanic people in the U.S. owning a firearm, there has been a severe lack of information available for Hispanic gun owners on the importance of safe firearm storage. That’s why Brady: United Against Gun Violence, Casanova//McCann, and the Ad Council have partnered to launch the latest End Family Fire campaign: “Da El Siguiente Paso” or “Take the Next Step,” — the first national public education campaign on safe firearm storage created for the Hispanic community. 4.6 million kids live in homes with access to unlocked and loaded guns. By encouraging gun owners to store all of their firearms more securely, we can end family fire and save lives. Visit DaElSiguientePaso.org, or EndFamilyFire.org for more information on how to take the next step to store firearms more safely.

At Project Unloaded, our mission is rewrite the cultural narrative on guns. More guns make us less safe, and the more people who know that, the safer we'll all be. We believe that young people have the power to change gun culture and help lead us to a future with less gun violence. And in just over two years, we've reached more than 3 million teens with the facts on how guns make them less safe through social media campaigns and community partnerships. Today, The Trace and The Guardian released a story together that looks at Project Unloaded's work thus far and theory of change. In short, our approach is ambitious - and it's effective, too. If you have 10 minutes, read the full story via The Trace here: https://lnkd.in/gE63Rf8M If you want the quick version, The Guardian has it here: https://lnkd.in/gtGcH7nk

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. That’s what the gun lobby wants us to keep doing — offering “thoughts & prayers” but doing nothing. We can’t let them win — not when so many Americans are facing danger in their own communities. https://bloom.bg/3sb7Z4q
