• Did you know that, in Indiana,  there is no limit to the number of guns that an individual can purchase?

• Are you aware that, in Indiana, there is no minmum age to own a rifle or shotgun?

• If you live in Indiana, think about the impact that our very lax gun laws could have on your safety and the health and safety of those you love.

 
 
 
 
Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence is an outgrowth of the Healthy City Committee of the Caring Community founded in 1990. 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 leading cause of death of young African-American males and the second leading cause for young white 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, yet our legislators tend to hear only from the powerful lobbies and interests that oppose laws that restrict the availability of guns.
 
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. Feel free to contact us at info@hcgv.org
