Everytown Pushes AI Gun Restrictions That Could Censor Lawful Firearms Information
AmmoLand ^ | October 5, 2026 | Dean Weingarten

Everytown is the anti-Second Amendment activist group funded in large part by Michael Bloomberg. Everytown Research has published a report calling on AI companies to integrate user-restriction measures into their AI programs. The report is titled “Artificially Assisted Gun Violence: Chatbot Risks and Preventative Steps for Responsible AI Companies.”

The report has five listed authors: Krystal LoPilato, Sriraman Madhavan, Ruhi Bengali, Olivia Li, and Justin Wagner. 

A common criticism of Everytown is the use of propaganda terms such as “Gun Violence“.  The term creates an association of guns and immoral violence. It conflates separate issues of suicide, homicide and accidents. The use of the term raises questions about the bias of the authors.

Another criticism is the claim the leading cause of death among “Children and Teens” are various suicides, homicides, and accidents where firearms are used or abused. The categorization lumps adults and children together. Many of the deaths are homicides committed by gang members who are often 15-17 years old, which are unlikely to be stopped with firearms legislation. The claim is misleading.

“Gun Violence“

I want to start hearing words like “Spoon and Fork violence” for fat people. Or “McDonalds violence”.

“Everytown is the anti-Second Amendment activist group funded in large part by Michael Bloomberg.”

I would laugh if some day Bloomberg or his family gets attacked and when he calls the police they tell him “ Sorry all the social workers that replaced the police, who you backed getting rid of, are busy but if you leave your phone number, address, date of birth, etc etc we will have one of them contact you and decide what kind of nonviolent help we can send. By if the perps who are attacking you are armed you might remind them that it is illegal, thanks to you and your supporters, for them to own guns.

Bloomberg has plenty of armed security. The laws he pushes do not apply to him.
