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
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.
Banning Untraceable “Ghost Guns”
We have helped pass laws that regulate or ban untraceable “ghost guns” in 16 states.
Shutting Down the Nation's Largest Maker of "Ghost Guns"
We won a $1.2M settlement against Polymer80, the country’s largest manufacturer of ghost guns, for its role in fueling gun violence in Baltimore. Shortly after our lawsuit, Polymer80 shut down.
Expanding Background Checks for Sales at Gun Shows and Online
An additional 20,000 gun sellers are now required to conduct background checks on gun sales thanks to federal action advocated for by Brady under the Biden-Harris administration.
Leading the Youth Movement to End Gun Violence
Since the Parkland shooting, Team ENOUGH, Brady’s youth-led arm, has founded 50 student-run chapters nationwide, helping mobilize youth activists to end gun violence in their communities.
Changing the Culture of Gun Violence
Since our Show Gun Safety campaign launched two years ago, Brady has trained over 700 writers, creatives, and executives on how they can responsibly portray guns and shift culture to save lives.
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
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.
Passing Meaningful State Laws
In 2024, our policy team helped pass 73 priority gun violence prevention bills through state legislatures, helping save countless lives.
Mobilizing our Grassroots Network
Our movement is built on the basis of our grassroots activists. Thanks to supporters like you, we drove 119,000 grassroots messages to lawmakers in 2024 alone.
Empowering Healthcare Professionals to End the Gun Violence Epidemic
Healthcare professionals are on the frontline of the gun violence epidemic. Over 35k healthcare professional will receive our This Is Our Lane resource guide on how to talk to patients about firearm safety.
Falling Rates of Mass Shootings
The United States saw over a 25% decline in the number of mass shootings in 2024 compared to 2023, thanks in part to persistent legal, legislative, and community-based work led by Brady.
Our Work is Saving Lives Every Day
Five new legal cases filed. Over 800 billion impressions of our safe storage campaign. Four hundred Hollywood leaders taking action. A $144.5M settlement achieved with our help. Thirty-nine life-saving state bills passed.
And that's just in the past year alone.
