PENALTY FLAG FOR CHANGE IS A SOCIAL MOVEMENT THAT EXPOSES THE INDIFFERENCE OF 34 SENATORS WHO VOTED ‘NO’ TO THE GUN CONTROL BIPARTISAN BILL. THEIR INACTION MAKES THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MORE THAN 45,000 VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE EVERY YEAR.

This Super Bowl season we urge you to know that:

– There were 648 mass shootings in 2022
– Deaths by firearms increased more than 102% in the first month of 2023, compared to January 2022
– There are more shootings than days of the year, according to the record kept by the Gun Violence Archive of the U.S.
– The U.S. is the only nation in the world with more weapons than civilians
– Shooters ages fit in a critical age range between 15 and 25 years old
– Americans possess 393 million of the 857 million civilian weapons available in the world, representing 46% of the world’s civilian arsenal
– Firearms kept at home for protection are 22 times more likely to kill a family member or friend rather than being used to kill in self-defense
