Commissioner Jody—one of the most effective ways to protect our communities from gun violence starts at home.
Whether or not you own a firearm, one of the most helpful things any adult can do to keep their loved ones safe is to learn about—and support—secure gun storage.
And when we get it right, secure storage can save lives by helping prevent:
• Unintentional shootings by children
• School shootings
• Gun suicide
• Gun theft
That's the power of secure storage. It's one of the smartest, simplest ways to save lives and protect your community. And right now, you can take one simple, life-saving action to help normalize secure gun storage nationwide:
Send a message to your lawmakers urging them to support the bipartisan Saving Our Veterans Lives Act—legislation that would provide free gun lock boxes and secure storage information to veterans who request them.
SEND A MESSAGE
From 2003 to 2022, more than 87,000 veterans died by gun suicide—an average of 13 veterans a day. These tragedies are preventable, and our elected leaders have a responsibility to act.
The Saving Our Veterans Lives Act honors the service and sacrifice of those who protect us by protecting them when they return home. This bipartisan bill would direct the VA to provide free gun lock boxes and secure storage information to veterans who request them—a proven way to reduce suicide risk during moments of crisis.
Commissioner Jody, take one helpful, life-saving action right now and tell your lawmakers to support the bipartisan Saving Our Veterans Lives Act.
TAKE ACTION
Veterans fought for us. Now it's our turn to fight for them—and to make secure storage the standard that keeps every family safe.
Because a gun hidden in a drawer isn't the same as a gun safely stored. And when we make helpful choices like these, we save lives.
Thank you,
Everytown for Gun Safety
