Here are the groups working toward a future with less gun violence

We are the only nation that has more guns than people — 120 guns for every 100 Americans, according to the Swiss-basedLittle by little. I’ve written about the ways our nation has slowly turned around other epidemics — smoking, car accident deaths, fire deaths. All that change happened little by little, through advocacy and legislation.
But this year, I’d like to offer options to contribute to organizations looking at the long game of curbing our escalating gun violence problem. These contributions won’t give immediate satisfaction. Giving to a group working on legislation to slow an angry and frustrated co-worker from buying a gun to unload into his staff that day — as
in a Virginia Walmart last week — will not give you the same warm fuzzies as adopting a kitten or feeding a hungry baby.But these are the seeds to plant to help ensure the future safety of American children and grandchildren.The National Council to Control Handguns was founded in D.C. in 1974 by armed robbery victim Mark Borinsky and Republican marketing manager Pete Shields, whose son was killed in a racially motivated shooting rampage in San Francisco known as the Zebra murders.
