Let Me Tell You Something
I’m a gun violence prevention advocate, and as long as I’m on the planet, I am going to fight for a future without gun violence for all of us.
In April of 2022, I was hired as Texas Gun Sense’s Executive Director. I’d learned during a decade of advocacy that gun violence takes many forms — the mass shootings that hit national headlines (Texas has seen too many) and the daily violence that is so common that it receives little media attention.

Texas Is Less Safe
Background checks save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of people with documented dangerous histories.
Unfortunately, a north Texas judge is preventing it from being enforced in Texas. His ruling partially and temporarily froze the federal rule.
Stand Up To The NRA
The NRA just wrapped up their national convention in Dallas. This organization bills itself as representing gun owners but has been found corrupt and liable for fraudulently spending donor funds — and is out of step with the majority of responsible gun owners.
