The extreme right-wing blueprints of Project 2025 and Agenda 47 call for radical changes to gun control laws-- making it harder to track illegal weapons, overturning state restrictions on deadly firearms, and even arming teachers. These proposals check off the gun lobby’s wish list at the expense of public safety, despite most Americans supporting sound gun control measures, according to Kris Brown, president of Brady: United Against Gun Violence. Together, Agenda 47 and Project 2025 aim "to sell as many guns to as many people as possible, and to remove every public safety measure to allow that to happen-- it's profit-seeking," Brown says, adding that Trump and the gun lobby "could care less" that gun violence is now the leading killer of American youth.

The toolkit consists of 13 modules on core topics of Project 2025’s plan and focuses on local impacts, but covers its global reach. […] It will soon be available in Spanish and French.

To whom it may concern:
How will Project 2025 affect you locally, in your community?
its funny to me a site that wants to “spread the word” would be blank under no script.
I didn’t realise McDonald’s and Starbucks were also selling guns now
