1/ Last night’s election in GA underscores that voters are demanding federal action to build safer communities with fewer guns.
@NRA poured millions in outside spending into the runoff, but voters rejected their “guns everywhere” agenda

@NRA 2/ GA voters rejected two "guns everywhere" GA senate candidates after a year in which gun sales spiked and our nation experienced a significant increase in gun deaths.
In 2020, Atlanta’s homicide count rose to the highest levels since 1998.

@NRA 3/ Biden & Harris ran the most ambitious agenda for reducing gun deaths in history & received most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket
Yesterday’s election results in GA demonstrate that the new admin must take *proactive action to build safer communities on day 1*

@NRA 4/ So what does action to reduce gun violence on day 1 look like?
- The Biden-Harris administration must immediately elevate gun violence issues throughout the administration and instruct every federal agency, department, and program to address the violence crisis we face.

As the new administration works to address the impact of COVID-19, it must ensure that addressing rising firearm injury and deaths (homicides increased by 50% in major cities in 2020) are a central part of that effort.

Biden-Harris administration must immediately begin building support for legislation to reduce gun deaths by engaging new voices that could help reach new audiences and strengthen the public case for gun reform. (Business voices could be key to this)

As armed right-wing extremists rally in DC to intimidate the public & democratically elected officials, Biden-Harris must address the role of social media in empowering armed extremists to carry out acts of violence in the real world.

@NRA 8/8 In the coming weeks, months, and years, the American people will work to hold the new administration & Dem majority in Congress accountable for carrying out their promise of enacting significant reforms that will help build safer futures with less gun violence for us all
