It's the guns. It's the ease of access for people who should not have them. It's the mental health aspect. But most of all, it's our country's failure to address the issue as a nation. We all are praying for Lewiston. But we know that prayers are not enough & want national action https://t.co/JPMfDLPcPq

Tuesday, I reported that crime is down in five of the six categories we regularly measure. Read about our tremendous effort toward reducing crime and specifically focused on gun-related crime through the Mayor’s Initiative to Reduce Gun Violence here: https://t.co/dlrX6MU5x2 pic.twitter.com/4U5tbyXL8L

Grateful for the @WhiteHouse's response and partnership in addressing gun violence across the country. While I’m thankful that Philadelphia has experienced a significant reduction in gun violence in the last year, this crisis remains our top priority. https://t.co/Z9Mm8x7OMi

Today our legislators convene for a special session on public safety. I hope that they embrace bipartisanship to prioritize the safety of all Tennesseans. After the senseless killings at the Covenant School, I urge our legislators turn their statements of sympathy into action. pic.twitter.com/KfDZDHO3gO

Thanks to @momsdemand for hosting all the Gun Sense candidates in Boulder tonight for a discussion about how we can and must do better to protect our community from gun violence. I appreciate all of your advocacy! pic.twitter.com/iCkh4cvMPV

I've joined over 2k mayors across the US who comprise #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns. Every year we lose one #SalemMA’s worth of Americans to guns – ~43k lives lost. Nowhere is immune from gun violence & I’m committed to doing my part to address this crisis.https://t.co/5IhGvwExL9 pic.twitter.com/cI7MjvUxCh

As we celebrate #LatinxHeritageMonth, we must commit to ending gun violence that disproportionately impacts our communities. We mean it when we say #NiUnoMás, and that means preventing gun suicide. #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns Learn more with @Everytown ->https://t.co/TsXg1nhTTR

President Biden's proposal to close the gun show loophole aligns with our efforts in Louisville to promote responsible gun sales. Background checks for online and gun show transactions are a commonsense step towards safer communities.https://t.co/2WJ5vlOF32

I’m thankful I got to join the members of Mothers of Murdered Sons & Daughters of KY yesterday for Walk a Mile in Our Shoes. Their resilience is inspiring, but no parent should have to mourn a child lost to gun violence. Let’s continue working together to prevent these tragedies. pic.twitter.com/hiAAi6e6Nh

Today, City Council passed two items to curb gun violence:

✅ Ban switches that modify handguns into deadly, automatic weapons
✅ Ban minors from purchasing bullets without parental consent

We have a duty as local government to use every tool in our toolbox to save lives. pic.twitter.com/hQ7S6oPzaT
