Our Impact

The five states with the strongest gun laws have a gun death rate that is 74% lower than the five states with the weakest gun laws.

Gun homicide is at a nearly 100-year low in America. This isn’t by chance. It’s the product of years of investing in effective community violence intervention solutions and Brady-led policy solutions.

For years, this negligent dealer flooded Baltimore with ghost guns and caused unimaginable harm. We took them to court, secured one of the largest verdicts against the gun industry ever, and helped reduce Baltimore's homicide rate to its lowest level in 50 years.

These actions save lives. If just 20% more American households locked up their guns, we could prevent almost one-third of annual youth gun deaths from suicide and unintentional shootings, saving nearly 200 young lives each year.

As the Trump administration and Congress fall short of addressing gun violence, states have an even greater responsibility — and opportunity — to lead. And we are ensuring they do just that.

Ghost guns are unserialized, untraceable firearms that are easy to assemble and accessible to anyone, including criminals, gun traffickers, domestic abusers, and minors. For too long, there were few state and federal restrictions on who could buy ghost gun kits or parts. Now, evidence shows major declines in ghost guns in cities across the country.

Brady’s Show Gun Safety campaign is empowering Hollywood to normalize responsible gun use. In 2026 alone, over 100 million viewers watched projects Brady influenced, ranging from Paramount’s Scream 7 to Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie. By helping Hollywood model safer behaviors around guns, we’re not just changing the story — we’re saving lives.

Healthcare professionals are on the frontlines of the gun violence epidemic, seeing the devastating impact of firearm injury and death every day. Brady’s This Is Our Lane provides them with life-saving resources to have conversations with patients about firearm access and safety. Data shows that we're spurring conversations that save lives: After seeing our campaign, the number of pediatricians who identified firearm safety as an essential public health issue jumped from 29% to 54%.

Young people are uniquely impacted by gun violence in America. Guns are the number one killer of youth, and schools have become places of fear instead of places of learning. Brady’s Team ENOUGH fights to change this. Since its founding in 2018 in the wake of the Parkland shooting, our youth leaders have established a growing number of chapters across the country, created the only youth-led program training young people to meet with lawmakers, testified before Congress, and helped win life-saving state and federal legislation.
