Guns Down America

Directions Website Contact the organization

Guns Down America is a national campaign to take back public life from the gun violence epidemic.

Guns Down is a bolder, broader movement calling for dramatically fewer guns in America, and for making them dramatically harder to get. We aim to provide Americans with information and advocacy tools to build support for limiting the availability of guns in America though social media and on-the-ground activism. This is a broader, more inclusive coalition that will bring in activists from the LGBT community, people of color, millennials, immigrants, and others to solve our nation's gun crisis.

The gun industry’s pricing practices are suspect. And the stakes for inflated profits are higher when we know they spend their excess money on lobbying to overturn proven safety practices that voters support. We can’t let them stand between us and safety.

Here’s what we’re doing about it:

💸 Released “The Price is Wrong,” our original report detailing gun industry pricing practices

💸 Meeting with national leaders to hold the gun industry accountable to playing fair business

On Wednesday, Saugus High School shooting survivor Mia Tretta was singing “Imagine” in a room full of other survivors and advocates committed to ending these preventable tragedies. On Sunday, she survived yet another shooting at Brown University.

Now is not the moment to give up. It’s the moment to commit to this movement. If survivors like Mia can continue to bravely speak their belief in a future free from gun violence, so can we. We hope you’ll join us. Whether it’s today or someday, we’ll be here ready to welcome you.

The Trump administration callously took down the Faces of Gun Violence memorial at the Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms, and Explosives with no notification to the families of those lost to gun violence.

They are using “law abiding citizens” to defend the erasure of what is happening to our children, including Jaime, and subverting attention from the real beneficiaries of their disrespectful actions: the gun industry.

Want to do something to show support for survivors? Go to https://orangeribbonsforjaime.org/ to help Jaime's dad connect families suffering from gun violence with emotional companion puppies.

The fact we even have to explain why our children and educators have a right to learn, grow, and LIVE without fear of being shot is reason enough to demand action from every source of power in America, including corporate America. It takes all of us, that’s why we’re teaming up with March For Our Lives, Teachers Unify, Blue Future's Progressive Leadership Initiative Education Fund, Virginia Moms for Change, Enough of Gun Violence, Stop Handgun Violence, and many more.

Guns are not inevitable, they are a choice. The majority of Americans have chosen not to bring a gun into their home and their lives are safer for it.

Most of us make that choice quietly, without any discussion or fanfare, but it’s worth remembering that we are the majority. There’s power in talking to our friends and family about what safety means to us – and why guns aren’t part of the equation.
