gun shows arm criminals
Where do criminals and
teens get guns?
Most shootings on America’s streets are committed by criminals
and juveniles who do not have a 2nd Amendment right to own
guns but obtain them through a thriving illegal gun market. The
most common ways felons and youth obtain guns:
- Federally licensed gun dealers who sell to
prohibited purchasers - Gun shows where criminals and other prohibited people
can buy guns without background checks - Straw purchasers recruited to buy guns on behalf of
prohibited purchasers
The “Iron Pipeline” of illegal gun trafficking arms
criminals who harm Americans.
Most people have no idea the “Iron Pipeline” exists or
that there are steps we can take to shut it down.
Citizens for Safety is a coalition of community leaders, law enforcement, public officials, faith-based groups and other
concerned citizens working to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and youth while supporting the rights of law-abiding Americans to own firearms.
Through education and advocacy, Citizens for Safety builds
support for solutions to stop the flow of guns to criminals at the source and reduce gun violence.
We can stop gun trafficking. Together.
