Many will tell you that we lead the federal gun control agenda. We are unapologetic because we live in a nation where too many have accepted the truth that guns are the #1 killer of children & teens.

Please donate to help us build a future without gun violence.

During this holiday season, safety is the greatest gift.

Store your firearms securely to protect your loved ones and ensure peace of mind.

And when visiting friends or family, ask if there are firearms in the home and whether they’re stored safely. A simple conversation can save a life.
