Just Two Weeks Away! Join Us September 12th
I believe it’s important for all of us to come together for a shared purpose to connect, while we strengthen our resolve in the fight to end gun violence.
To that end, I’m so proud of the Fall Fundraiser event that Texas Gun Sense has planned for you, and I really hope you can join us.
Take Action – Support the State Fair
The State Fair of Texas has made a crucial decision to prohibit fairgoers from carrying guns, for the safety and security of attendees. We need your help to send a clear message to state lawmakers that Texans support this choice. (photo: Elías Valverde Ii/The Dallas Morning News, via Associated Press)
Santa Fe: Justice Not Served
We are shocked and dismayed by the jury’s decision to find the shooter’s parents not liable for the devastating mass shooting at Santa Fe High School that stole the lives of 10 people and injured 13. This outcome highlights a disturbing gap in our state’s gun safety laws.
Join Me In Support of Texas Gun Sense
By guest blogger, Sen. Roland Gutierrez – Common sense gun laws are one of the things I fight for every day. And they are possible in Texas – closer than ever because of how advocates like you have shown up to support legislators working for a safer Texas.
Guns don’t belong at the State Fair
Last year, three people were shot and wounded at the State Fair of Texas. Organizers of the Fair took responsible action: they consulted with security partners and reviewed policies of similar events in Texas.

Our Children Come First
By guest blogger, Lindsey Ramirez – I’m writing to you not only as an Austin school staff member but also as a parent who, like many of you, grapples with the very real fear of sending my child off to school each day.
We want to hear from you!
We know that understanding gun laws can be complex and sometimes confusing. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our new series, A Guide to Texas Gun Laws. This series will break down the most important aspects of our state’s gun policies, laws that determine the safety of our communities.
We remember El Paso
Tomorrow marks five years since the tragic El Paso Walmart shooting, a day that we will remember forever.
On August 3, 2019, a gunman fueled by hatred and white supremacy took the lives of 23 innocent people and injured many others. This horrific act of violence devastated families and shattered communities. The El Paso tragedy showed us again how dangerous and destructive hate-fueled armed extremism can be.
