Today, there are more guns in our country than people.

In Illinois, we all deserve to be Safe At Home

Download the Factsheet

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in Illinois and across the country, and shockingly, every one in three children lives in a home with a gun. With this level of gun ownership in our society comes a responsibility to ensure that guns are safe in our homes to better prevent violence and tragedy.

The Safe At Home campaign is calling for Illinois lawmakers to change our laws NOW to prevent children, at-risk individuals and criminals from accessing deadly weapons and inflicting tragedy.

We can better promote responsible gun ownership by addressing Illinois law in two critical ways:

• Enhancing what it means to safely store weapons
• Strengthening reporting requirements for lost and stolen firearms

Take action today by telling your legislators to pass the Safe Firearm Storage Act and Lost and Stolen Firearms Reporting Bill!
