The evidence is clear: gun laws save lives. Our experts help draft, implement, and defend the laws, policies, and programs proven to make our country safer... Nearly 40,000 people die from gun violence in the US every year. This uniquely American crisis leaves no community untouched-but it doesn't have to be this way. From universal background checks to community-based violence intervention strategies, we know that there are proven solutions that will make our country safer. In statehouses and courthouses across America, we're taking on the gun lobby and winning. Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook in December 2012, we've helped pass more than 460 gun safety laws in 48 states and Washington DC... Gun violence is a complex problem, and ending this epidemic will require a wide range of solutions. We're committed to seeing this fight through, until the promise of a safe and just country is a reality for every person and community in America.
