Major Victory for Sensible Gun Laws —
Thanks to You!

Paul Helmke Discusses the Election Results The election of Barack Obama as President and Joe Biden as Vice President was a decisive win for common sense gun laws.

Your commitment to saving lives helped make this victory possible.

The Brady Campaign issued a strong endorsement of the ticket in October because of the candidates' strong support for reasonable gun laws throughout their careers.

Brady Campaign Report Reveals NRA as Biggest Loser

Guns and the 2008 Elections: Common Sense Gun Laws Won, The NRA Lost... What it means With your ongoing support, the Brady Campaign was able to issue an in-depth report immediately following the election called Guns & The 2008 Elections: Common Sense Gun Laws Won, The NRA Lost, & What it Means.

It highlights that the National Rifle Association spent millions on attack ads targeting the Obama-Biden ticket and failed. The report also shows that support for gun laws is a winning message for politicians and not a political "wedge" issue. It makes the case that voters want sensible solutions to protect their families and communities from gun violence.
