Action Alert:
Learn About Gaps in your State’s Gun-Related Domestic Violence Laws


Gun violence prevention advocates across the country are fighting hard to reform laws that arm domestic abusers. Since 2013, at least 25 states—including Alabama, Louisiana, Utah, North Dakota and South Carolina—have passed laws to help ensure the surrender of firearms by domestic abusers.

Want to know what you can do in your state to strengthen laws to keep guns away from domestic abusers?

1) Watch this powerful video about gun-related domestic violence and the dangerous “boyfriend loophole.”  Legislation has been introduced at both the federal and state level to address this problem.
