What’s the most effective way to reduce gun deaths while respecting Americans’ Second Amendment rights?
ASK GUN OWNERS.
Our Mission
97Percent’s mission is to reduce gun deaths by including gun owners in the solutions.
We don’t demonize gun owners…many of us are gun owners.
And despite what you hear, we want the same proven protections to improve gun safety in America that non-gun owners do.
That’s the common ground we build on at 97Percent.

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 Work
Our work is rooted in and supported by what we learn by talking to fellow gun owners.
We use their feedback to inform everything we do.
Our Community
Gun owners’ voices are too often misrepresented by pro-gun groups — and left out of the conversation by gun safety groups.
At 97Percent, gun owners and non-gun owners are seen, heard, and respected.
