Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence (HCGV) is a nonprofit grassroots organization founded in 1990 in Indianapolis. It brings together Hoosiers concerned about the rising tide of gun violence to seek solutions to this problem at the local, state and national levels.

Gun violence is now the second leading cause for young white males and the leading cause of death of young African-American males. Of course, guns alone are not responsible for these deaths.   However, because firearms are so easily accessible in the United States, we have the dubious honor of having one of the highest murder rates in the world.

Polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans are in favor of stricter gun laws – even the majority of gun owners support responsibility in gun purchases and ownership.  Yet our legislators tend to hear only from the powerful lobbies and oppose laws that foster responsible standards for gun ownership.   If we join together, our voices will be heard. You can make a difference!

We hope that you will join Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence and work with us to decrease the number of gun-related injuries and deaths.
