The Tragic Toll of Gun Violence
800,000 Americans have died from gun violence since 2008, after guesswork by both sides of the gun debate and the Supreme Court triggered a gun epidemic, surpassing the Civil War carnage sparked by an earlier legal travesty, Dred Scott.
Join us in addressing the urgent issue of gun violence in America. Together, we can make a real change.
Increased Urgency
The Court is poised to extend Heller again to allow joyriding with AR-15s, whose ballistic impact a police chief described as “sickening and unacceptable.” Last term, the Court paused review of assault rifle bans pending further lower court development. Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch argued it was “difficult to see” how the states could ban AR-15s, the most popular rifle in America, under Heller’s common use test. Justice Kavanaugh, who reached that conclusion in a prior case, expects the issue will be taken up “soon.”
Increasingly perilous issues stemming from Heller—which got the Second Amendment all wrong—demand a course change, not just by the Court but both sides of the gun debate.
Join Us in our Fight
At a time when America is desperate for solutions to gun violence, AEP offers a strategic challenge to the flawed reasoning that has led to our current gun crisis.
