There is no single solution to our nation's gun violence crisis. That is why we are pleased to join such a strong coalition of diverse, cross-sectional groups committed to creating a safer Pennsylvania and a safer America.

Brady was proud to join the Los Angeles Office of Violence Prevention Resource Fair and Teach-In, which brought together local direct service providers, national gun violence prevention groups, and county officials to share resources related to gun violence prevention in Los Angeles county. Our Combating Crime Guns team shared information on the supply of guns used in crimes and ways we can prevent gun violence by stemming the flow of guns into our communities.

In Scream 7, along with the usual jump scares and plot twists, there's an important safety lesson: firearms stored locked securely in a safe. Survival isn’t just about luck, it’s about preparation. When films depict secure firearm storage, they are setting a standard for what safety looks like. Read Brady President Kris Brown's op-ed in USA Today. #ShowGunSafety https://bit.ly/4ssnzlT
