Fight dangerous myths about gun violence!

America’s toxic gun culture and the cycle of violence it perpetuates are sustained by the myths and misinformation that have deeply embedded themselves in our national consciousness. 

Hollywood, the media, and pro-gun propaganda have drilled into us the idea that a gun is a useful tool for self-defense — while the reality is that having a gun puts you, your family, and your community in much more danger than you would be in otherwise. Having more guns doesn’t protect us from active shooters; on the contrary, it makes them MORE likely. Guns don’t reduce crime either; in fact, states with loose gun laws have MORE violent crime than states without. 

If we’re going to put an end to the epidemic of gun violence that kills so many people, shatters so many families and devastates so many communities, we’re going to have to unwind these dangerous myths and change the culture around gun ownership — and it’s going to take all of us to do it. Will you add your name and vow to fight the myths that fuel our toxic gun culture?
