Erika Soto Lamb, communications director for Everytown for Gun Safety, sent out a press release last week that detailed the organization’s accomplishments in 2014 along with a prospective of what the group hopes to achieve in 2015.<\/p>\n

In reviewing the release, one is reminded that the battle for our Second Amendment rights is far from over. Everytown, which is backed by billionaire business magnate Michael Bloomberg, is on the offensive with the wind at its back when it comes to foisting its central policy objective on the American people: universal background checks.<\/p>\n

As discussed in previous GunsAmerica articles<\/a>, universal background checks criminalize private transfers between family members, friends and neighbors. They also expose law-abiding citizens to exorbitant transfer fees that are tantamount to a tax on one’s fundamental right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

While all that is bad news, the real kicker about UBCs is that there is no guarantee that they’ll stop bad guys from getting guns as criminals by their very nature do not follow laws. It’s foolish to think that another law will make a difference, yet Everytown is doubling down on its UBC push in 2015.<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights from the Everytown press release:<\/p>\n

The idea that gun safety has stalled is a red herring \u2013 progress in the states in 2014 speaks for itself.<\/h3>\n

While some media claim that \u201cgun control is dead\u201d post-Newtown because Congress has not taken action, major progress was made in state legislatures across the country. A pivotal moment was in Washington State, where for the first time, we passed comprehensive background checks \u2013 I-594 \u2013 by popular vote in a state with a strong tradition of gun ownership. At the same time, we also trounced I-591, a gun lobby-backed measure that would have weakened existing gun laws.<\/em><\/p>\n

Additionally, six states \u2013 Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Vermont, Louisiana and Washington \u2013 passed important bills, with bipartisan support, that will help keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.<\/em><\/p>\n

California signed a new \u2013 and replicable \u2013 law that allows law enforcement or immediate family members to present evidence to a judge and temporarily suspend someone’s access to guns when they pose a significant danger to themselves or others.<\/em><\/p>\n

And in key states, we successfully pushed back on dangerous bills penned by the gun lobby. For example, in Tennessee, we defeated an attempt to allow guns in parks and an attempt to legalize the open carry of loaded firearms. In Arizona, Governor Jan Brewer vetoed two controversial gun bills \u2013 one regarding guns in public buildings and another that would have made local officials subject to firing for enacting basic public safety rules in their communities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gun safety was the silver lining in this year\u2019s midterm elections. We won decisive victories in races around the country \u2013 and debunked the theory that guns are a political third rail.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • When it came to guns this election cycle, the Washington that mattered most was Washington State. The passage of I-594 proved that when Americans vote on measures that can help save lives from gun violence, gun safety wins.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • In governor races in states that passed background check legislation since Newtown, candidates who support gun safety were victorious \u2013 Malloy (CT), Cuomo (NY), and Hickenlooper (CO).<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Just a year after the gun lobby used a brief moment in a 2013 low turnout election to recall a pair of state senators who supported Colorado\u2019s background check bill, gun safety candidates took back both seats in the midterm elections \u2013 one of which was even a former Mayors Against Illegal Guns staffer.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • In Oregon, we stood-up for gun sense champions \u2013 who won \u2013 and built a pro-background check state legislature majority for 2015.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Senators who voted the wrong way on background checks \u2013 Pryor (AR) and Begich (AK) \u2013 learned that it didn\u2019t buy the NRA\u2019s support. The message is loud and clear \u2013 with friends like the NRA, who needs enemies?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    And just last week, we saw that Congress is listening: the confirmation of Surgeon General Vivek Murthy as our country\u2019s top doctor \u2013 who outspokenly supports addressing gun violence in America as a public health problem and who the NRA declared a \u201cprescription for disaster\u201d \u2013 was an important defeat for the gun lobby that has fought tooth and nail to keep gun violence prevention off of the agenda in Washington.<\/em><\/p>\n

    We\u2019ve also moved beyond the political arena to force corporations to adopt gun sense policies that ensure the safety of their customers.<\/h3>\n

    After pressure campaigns by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown, major retailers like Target, Chipotle, Starbucks, Sonic, Jack in the Box, and Chili\u2019s changed their policies to prohibit the open carry of guns in their establishments. More recently, Panera and New Seasons Market, a chain of more than a dozen grocery stores that compete with Kroger-affiliated stores in Oregon and Washington, proactively decided to adopt a gun sense policy after working with Moms.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Looking ahead to 2015, we will replicate the success of the last year \u2013 in state houses, at the ballot box and in corporate boardrooms.<\/h3>\n

    The background check victory in Washington State was a new frontier in the fight for public safety measures that can help prevent gun violence and save lives. A background check initiative in Nevada just qualified for the ballot in 2016 \u2013 with a record number of nearly 250,000 signatures delivered \u2013 and we\u2019re looking at other states where we can replicate this success.<\/em><\/p>\n

    In 2014 we signed up more than one million Americans to vote for gun safety \u2013 but that effort wasn\u2019t just for the midterm elections. We\u2019re building a movement of Americans \u2013 now more than 2.5 million supporters strong and with over 40,000 donors \u2013 who will fight for gun safety.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The gun lobby has had the field to themselves for decades and we\u2019re finally meeting them on their turf and showing them \u2013 and the legislators in their pockets \u2013 that Americans will stand up for public safety.<\/em><\/p>\n

    ***<\/p>\n

    So there ya have it. \u00a0Sure, not all their political victories listed are legitimate or will endure, but the plain fact\u00a0is that Everytown is gaining momentum. \u00a0That cannot be denied. \u00a0And one can expect Bloomberg’s minions\u00a0to gain more ground in 2015 unless gun owners stand together and fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
