Reducing Youth Access to Firearms
Gun violence among youth poses a significant threat to community safety. ACT for Cincy takes a comprehensive approach to reducing the accessibility of firearms to youth by targeting illegal gun trafficking and increasing education on gun safety.
Key Strategies
Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) using forensic technology to trace the origins of recovered shell casings and firearms used in crimes, identify trafficking patterns, and coordinate with federal and local agencies to disrupt illegal gun flows.
Safe Firearm Storage and Responsible Gun Ownership to help reduce accidental shootings, youth access to firearms, and gun-related injuries.
State and Federal Lobbying Strategy to advocate for state and federal policy changes that reduce gun violence and improve public safety.
Local Model Laws and Policies including the domestic violence firearms possession ordinance, the gun safe storage ordinance, and challenging State preemption laws.
