Law enforcement who respect the community they serve and earn their trust are critical partners in the ongoing struggle for peace and safety.
Working Together Toward a Safer Nation
Our nation’s law enforcement are some of the foremost experts on guns and responsible gun ownership, and they know that with rights come serious responsibilities. They understand what guns can do in the hands of those trained to use them—and what can happen when guns fall into the hands of those who want to do us and our communities harm.
The Giffords Law Enforcement Coalition is a national initiative that brings together law enforcement officials from across the country who are committed to fighting for safer gun laws. Members of the Giffords Law Enforcement Coalition support the Second Amendment, believe that with freedom comes responsibility, and are focused on:
- Combating dangerous legislation that would federally mandate concealed carry and lift restrictions on firearm silencers.
- Supporting stronger gun laws and ensuring lawmakers and stakeholders have the resources and training they need to prevent gun tragedies.
- Encouraging leaders to give law enforcement the tools they need to keep our communities safe.
Law enforcement officers have a deep understanding of the dangers posed by firearm misuse and negligence. We value their expertise and experience in the fight for gun safety, and invite those who share our goal of reducing firearm violence through commonsense legislation and community-based solutions to join our coalition.
