Our Impact

We're proud to have the longest legacy of progress in the movement against gun violence.

Our work is saving lives each and every day.

Take a look at some of our major accomplishments.

Declining Homicide Rates

17%

The United States had the largest drop in homicides in recent history from January-June 2024 thanks in part to advocacy efforts led by Brady under the Biden-Harris administration that reversed an all-time record in violence under the first Trump presidency.

Shutting Down the Nation's Largest Maker of "Ghost Guns"

Modeling Safe Storage

We worked with CBS’s SWAT to portray safe firearm storage in an episode that reached over 5 million viewers. We also assisted ABC on an episode of the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff Station 19, which reached over 3 million viewers.

Protecting Victims of Domestic Abuse

4,600

Over 4,000 gun sales to individuals convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence crimes were blocked since the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was passed, thanks in part to executive orders from the Biden-Harris administration.
