The VPC is a national organization working to stop gun death and injury in America. According to a recent U.S. Secret Service report, nearly two thirds of guns used in school shootings come from home.
Parents have a responsibility to keep homes gun free.
Until such changes occur, these tragic shootings are America's future. This places all of America's children at risk. The answer isn't more armed guards at schools, but fewer armed students. Ultimately, responsibility lies with lawmakers who place political fealty to so-called gun rights over the lives of our children. The Center examines the role of firearms in America, conducts research on firearms violence, and explores new ways to decrease firearm-related death and injury.
