DONNA'S LAW FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION
Preventing Suicide Through Voluntary Firearms Self Prohibition
DONNA'S LAW:
Self Defense Against Suicide
Donna's Law is a voluntary self-registry creating a prohibition on firearm sales for those who choose to create self defense against suicide. If one chooses to reverse their registration, they would be given a waiting period of several weeks.
On June 26th, 2018, Donna Nathan used her iPhone to search “gun stores New Orleans.” She then drove from her home to a nearby gun store. Despite her recent voluntary inpatient mental health stays, in just minutes she was able to purchase the only gun she would ever own. She paid for the gun and a box of bullets, drove to the Tree of Life in Audubon Park, and shot herself.
Without any barriers to purchase firearms, many people are at high risk of doing the same.
While this won't prevent every suicide, it can prevent many others. Please support empowering those who know they are safer without guns to voluntarily give up their ability to purchase guns. This will save lives.
Donna's Law has been enacted in five states now. Washington, Utah, Virginia, Delaware and Colorado have all taken this simple step to protect their most vulnerable citizens. Donna's List is now available to 20 million Americans and we are working tirelessly to bring it to every American who may one day need self defense against suicide.
