OUR APPROACH
Debunk the myth that owning a gun enhances one’s safety.
If guns made us safer, we’d be the safest country in the world. We’re countering disinformation and educating the public so that we can create a safer America for us all, gun owners and non-gun owners alike.
THE ISSUE
A small minority of gun dealers sell the majority of guns used in crime.
5% of gun dealers sell 90% of guns used in crime.
OUR APPROACH
Enforce Industry Accountability
We hold irresponsible gun industry dealers and manufacturers accountable through our Combating Crimes Guns program and groundbreaking legal work.
THE ISSUE
The majority of voters from all sides of the aisle want stronger, sensible gun laws.
When asked, 97% of voters support expanded background checks.
OUR APPROACH
Expand Common-Sense Policies
We’re the leading experts at the forefront of policy reform. We passed the landmark Brady Bill, which established our nation’s background check system and is the foundation of our gun laws.
OUR IMPACT
Inspiring parents to lock up their guns at home

SURVIVOR SPOTLIGHT
MEET BOARD CHAIR DR. JOSEPH SAKRAN
Dr. Sakran Is the only physician and gun violence survivor to chair a major gun violence prevention organization. He was 17 years old when he was shot in the neck after a high school football game. The medical professionals who saved his life inspired him to become a trauma surgeon and dedicate himself to reducing gun violence. As head of emergency surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the worst part of his job is losing a patient to gun violence and having to deliver the tragic news to their family. Brady’s life-saving work is the antidote that spares these conversations.
