"Where Did the Gun Come From?" Campaign

When you hear about a shooting, do you ever ask, Where did the gun come from? Where does a young person get a gun in the first place? 

Citizens for Safety urges everyone to ask "Where did the gun come from?” to shine a light on the sources of crime guns flooding our streets. If we cut the flow of crime guns, we can save lives. 

Help us prevent crime guns from ever getting into our community. 

One of the most shocking answers to “Where did the gun come from?” is WOMEN. Women are pressured, bribed or sweet-talked into buying and hiding guns for people who can’t get guns legally. This is called a straw purchase. A straw purchase is punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, and it’s often women who pay the price. 

Our workshops, interventions, and public awareness campaigns have resulted in a 30% drop in gun crimes by women. 

Your donation today will help us keep guns out of the wrong hands, keep women out of jail, and prevent the next shooting. Please give generously today. Thank you.
