Americans Against Gun Violence

Americans Against Gun Violence The USA must adopt gun control laws comparable to those in other high income democratic countries to reduce rates of gun related injuries and deaths.

www.aagunv.org Why should I support Americans Against Gun Violence when there are many other organizations working on the gun violence issue? This is a very reasonable question, and one that you should ask before you commit time or money to any organization that claims to be working to prevent gun violence. We founded Americans Against Gun Violence in 2016 because we couldn't find any other organi

zation other than the Sacramento Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility that openly advocates the adoption of the same types of definitive gun control measures in the United States that are already in place in every other high income democratic country of the world – countries in which mass shootings are rare or non-existent, and in which overall rates of firearm related deaths and injuries are much lower than in the USA. We acknowledge the enormous amount of effort that other organizations are expending in an attempt to reduce gun violence in our country through small, incremental steps, such as expanding background checks. On the other hand, we believe that it is critically important to make the American public aware that we're never going to be able to reduce rates of gun related deaths and injuries in the USA to levels comparable to those in other high income democratic countries until we adopt similar gun control laws. Such laws include stringent regulations, if not complete bans, on civilian ownership of handguns and semi-automatic rifles. And in order to stringently regulate or ban handguns, we'll need to first overturn the Supreme Court's radical reinterpretation of the Second Amendment in the 2008 Heller decision.
