Nearly 40,000 people die from gun violence in the U.S. 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. We're taking on the gun lobby in statehouses and courthouses across America and we're winning. Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook in December 2012, we've helped pass more than 350 gun safety laws in 45 states.
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.
