GUN VIOLENCE


The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
Their goal is to protect the community from gun deaths and injuries. They believe it is too easy for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons. They want to make it harder for convicted felons, the dangerously mentally ill, and others like them to get guns in the first place. They support laws such as requiring criminal background checks on all gun sales; banning military-style assault weapons ; and strengthening law enforcement's efforts to stop the illegal gun market -- like limiting the number of guns that can be bought at one time. They want to expose corrupt gun dealers who feed the illegal gun market and to hold them accountable in court. They work to protect common sense gun laws when they are attacked in court and to strengthen law enforcement's efforts to stop the illegal gun market. They also educate the public about gun violence through grassroots mobilization and outreach to affected communities. For more information click here: http://www.bradycampaign.org/
