Today we’re unveiling the Gun Violence Memorial—an installation of 40,000 flowers on the National Mall to show the scope of our gun violence crisis.

40,000 people are killed with guns each year.

Several new laws loosening gun restrictions in Texas went into effect a day after a mass shooting killed 7 people and injured 22.

The laws:
– allow handguns in places of worship
– let people store guns, ammunition in school parking lots
– allow more armed guards in schools pic.twitter.com/BUAFE6Z8pq

As of September 1, which was the 244th day of the year, there have been 283 mass shootings in the U.S.

After each mass shooting, the GOP defends the NRA more than children, families, and victims.

The United States currently has more guns in circulation, nearly 350 million, than any country in the entire HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

No other nation is remotely close.

And as the number climbs, mass shootings climb, and gun deaths climb to a record high.

The more Americans die from mass shootings the more guns Americans will be led to believe they need to "protect" themselves. The more gun laws make it easier for them to "protect themselves," the more we all die.

Did you know that the United States is the ONLY nation in the world that has more guns than people?

We have 122 guns for every 100 people.

No other nation has 100.
Or 90.
Or 80.
Or 70.
Or 60 guns per 100 people.

In fact, only 1 other nation has more than 40.
