On average, 125 people in the U.S. are killed with guns every day. More than 200 are shot and wounded.
#GunViolenceAwarenessDay is a reminder that lives are at stake. I'll keep working in Congress to end this epidemic and protect our communities.
We've invested in solutions that reduce gun violence, support intervention, heal trauma, and promote safety. Because everyone deserves to be well.

"Most youth shootings — including firearm suicides and school shootings — use a gun obtained from a friend or family member. Simple behavior changes — secure storage, awareness of risk factors, mental health support and adult mentorship — can be tremendously effective in reducing youth firearm deaths."
