Since our founding in 2012, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America has pushed back against the gun lobby and fought for common-sense laws and policies to make our country safer. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers across the country, we have been able to achieve unprecedented victories against the gun lobby–at the ballot box, in state legislatures, and in corporate America.
