Moms Demand Action ~ Everytown "Let's talk about Gun Violence & Gun Safety."

Our guest speakers are Bobbie Curiel and Carla Hubler. Carla Hubler is one of the founding members and Co-Lead of Lancaster/Palmdale Moms Demand Action, and Bobbie Curiel is the Co-Lead of Lancaster/Palmdale BeSMART. 

They will be talking about gun violence, gun saftey and handing out gun locks to those who would like one. Please join us as we talk about a hot topic that needs more attention and more action.

Every day, nearly 130 people in the US are killed with guns, and more than 200 are shot and wounded. The effects of gun violence in America extend far beyond these casualties—gun violence shapes the lives of millions who witness it, know someone who was shot, or live in fear of the next shooting.

In order to illustrate the magnitude of everyday gun violence, Everytown has gathered the most comprehensive, publicly available data. Still, significant data gaps remain—a result of underfunded, incomplete data collection at the state and federal levels. Filling these gaps is necessary to truly understand the full impact of gun violence in America.

Gun Deaths by Intent

Average number of people killed with guns in the United States each year: 46,684
