The truth about guns and domestic violence in America isn't pretty. But if we want to make meaningful changes to our gun laws that will save lives, we have to face some shocking facts, including: Women in the United States are 11 times more likely to be murdered with guns than women in other high-income countries.
American women should not be killed at such alarming rates. Domestic Violence Awareness Month is an important moment to make sure that as many people as possible -- our friends, family, and members of our communities -- understand just how urgent this crisis is.

The first step is to make sure everyone knows the facts.
