The Consortium for Risked-Based Firearm Policy
 
 

GOOD AFTERNOON,

 

We send this newsletter in the context of the terrible tragedies that leave behind shattered communities and families. As we mourn the lives lost at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, at a church in Laguna Woods, California, at hospitals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Titusville, Florida, and many others, we reflect on the overwhelming toll that gun violence takes on human lives.

 

With every life lost, we are reminded of why we urgently need lawmakers to implement gun violence prevention policies that can prevent this needless loss of life. Our work in the Consortium can certainly make a difference. We are hopeful as we strive to turn our grief into a solid commitment to advance evidence-based gun violence prevention policies.
