What’s the most effective way to reduce gun deaths while respecting Americans’ Second Amendment rights?
DATA, NOT DIVISION.
Our Mission
97Percent’s mission is to reduce gun deaths by replacing assumptions with comprehensive data.
Instead of focusing on our differences, we rely on research to highlight the specific safety measures that the vast majority of Americans support.
That is the evidence-based common ground we use to save lives.

What Do Gun Owners Think?
The answer may surprise you. For example, our research shows that 72% of gun owners across the nation support Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), commonly known as red flag laws, to temporarily remove firearms from someone deemed by the courts to be a danger to themselves or others.
Our Community
For too long, the conversation has been polarized, leaving critical perspectives out of the research equation.
We foster a collaborative community to ensure our policies are shaped by comprehensive input.
