Everytown for Gun Safety

Have you ever noticed that #Batman goes out of his way to avoid using guns? In every iteration, Batman’s childhood experience with gun violence shapes him for the rest of his life. Too many… Batman & Guns

Have you ever noticed that Batman goes out of his way to avoid using guns? In every iteration, Batman’s childhood experience with gun violence shapes him for the rest of his life.

Watch our full Batman & Guns breakdown:

Guns have been the leading killer of children and teens in America since 2020. This senseless violence is preventable—not inevitable—and lawmakers’ inaction is not neutral.

Our children shouldn’t be forced to live or die like this.

“Anyone could make hundreds of guns, undetected, regardless of criminal record.” - D.A. Bragg.

Tell Congress: We Demand Oversight and Accountability of ICE Send a letter to your lawmakers to make your voice heard now.

The deaths of Alex Pretti & Renee Good were not isolated incidents—they are the predictable result of unchecked power, secrecy, & a complete lack of oversight.

Text ICE to 644-33 to contact federal lawmakers to demand accountability for the chaos ICE has brought to our communities. buff.ly/25GLnjd

“What this really underscores is the across-the-board opposition to the chaos, the lies and the victim blaming that followed this tragic killing.” - Eric Tirschwell, executive director of Everytown Law

Thirteen years ago today, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in a Chicago park, just one week after she performed in President Obama’s Inaugural parade. 🧵

Trump: “I don’t like that [Alex Pretti] had a gun.”

REMINDER: Police seized enough ammunition to shoot every member of Congress five times during arrests around the Capitol on January 6, 2021. But that didn’t matter when Trump pardoned every single insurrectionist on his first day back in office.

Jessica's words remind us that action—especially collective action—is how we turn grief into change. In Alex’s name, we’re choosing peace, courage & care for one another. We won’t stop working to build a world where every person is safe and every life is valued. We will carry Alex's light forward.

Trump is so desperate to justify the killing of Alex Pretti by his federal agents that he's doing an about-face on the Second Amendment:

"You know, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns.”

It’s past time for action. Text ICE to 644-33 to call your federal lawmakers and demand oversight and accountability in Minnesota for the horrific deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Congressional Republicans have the power to stop this. An essential first step to deescalating and restoring public safety is for ICE to suspend operations in Minnesota and conduct a fair and transparent investigation.

Trump Administration officials are lying about what we saw on video to defend the indefensible. When anyone can be shot and killed in the street by federal agents, no one is safe from gun violence.

Two people dead, no accountability, and ICE still running amok. We demand transparency, accountability, and an end to ICE’s chaos and mayhem. 🧵

We demand accountability and join those calling for a full investigation into the horrific killing of Alex Pretti. Federal agents shooting law-abiding American citizens in broad daylight is the opposite of public safety.

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Gun violence is gun violence, no matter who pulls the trigger.

Alex should be here. He didn’t deserve to die in the street.

“He cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset. He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express, you know, his care for others,” said Alex’s father, Michael Pretti.

Man fatally shot by federal officer in Minnesota worked as an ICU nurse, his parents say The 37-year-old man killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis is identified by his family as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive care nurse who was "very upset with what was happening," AP reported.

Just weeks after the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good, federal agents in Minnesota have now shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse with no criminal record and a person who had a legal firearm permit.

Federal agents kill another person in Minneapolis, officials say, prompting clash with protesters Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old man in south Minneapolis Saturday morning, according to city police.

BREAKING: Federal agents have shot and killed another person amid a crowd of protestors in Minneapolis.

While we don’t yet know all the details, it comes in the midst of a dangerous pattern of gun violence by federal agents that has wreaked havoc in communities across the country.

Gun violence prevention advocates demand action in Richmond Legislation to be considered this session include bills cracking down on ghost guns, enhancing background checks and keeping guns out of the hands of people convicted of domestic violence.

Yesterday, @momsdemandaction.org and @studentsdemandaction.org volunteers and survivors were in Richmond to call on Virginia lawmakers to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, strengthen background checks, and expand protections for survivors of intimate partner violence. 💪

Three years ago today, a man armed with a Ruger pistol shot and killed seven people and wounded another at farms in Half Moon Bay, California. One of the farms he targeted was his workplace.

We shouldn’t have to fear being shot at our places of work.

When you reduce gun dealer oversight, make it easier to buy silencers, and shut down the first-ever White House of Gun Violence Prevention, you’re not tough on crime—you’re undermining progress.

These steep declines confirm what we already know: Gun crime and violence are preventable with common-sense laws and proven violence intervention strategies—two tactics that the Trump Administration has abandoned.

The Trump Administration has used “rising crime” to fear monger and demonize American cities, but this claim is unsupported by data.

Angela Ferrell-Zabala travelled to Richmond with @MomsDemandAction and Students Demand Action volunteers and survivors to call on Virginia lawmakers to ban the sale of assault weapons and… Virginia Advocacy Day Kickoff

🗣️ I’m here in Richmond with @momsdemandaction.org and @studentsdemandaction.org volunteers and survivors to call on lawmakers to ban the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and strengthen background checks!

One year ago, a student opened fire in Antioch High School in Nashville, TN. In seconds, he stole the life of 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante.

Josselin’s family immigrated from Guatemala to give her opportunities they never had. Her father said “she was my girl...I loved her. It’s not fair.”

Murder Rate Drops to Lowest Level Since at Least 1900, New Report Says A decline in homicides across the country was a stunning reversal after crime rose during the pandemic.

"The numbers have been at the center of heated political debate since President Trump returned to office, after he campaigned on fears of a migrant-led crime wave and complained of 'bloodshed' and 'chaos' in Democrat-led cities."

Meet the Gun Makers Exhibiting at SHOT Show 2026 The gun industry will debut more deadly products that capitalize on the Trump administration’s rollbacks at the 2026 SHOT Show.

While hundreds of people will be shot this week, the gun industry is partying in Las Vegas at SHOT Show—its largest annual trade show and weeklong party—just two miles from the site of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

VICTORY! At the urging of our volunteers, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed three critical gun safety bills into law, banning machine gun conversion devices, cracking down on dangerous 3D gun-printing instructions, and strengthening gun violence data collection. @govmurphy.bsky.social

This senseless shooting is part of an increase in threats and violence against public officials across the country. We cannot accept armed political violence as normal or inevitable. Our hearts are with the Meyer family as more details emerge.
