Official website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means it's official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website.

    Data, tools, and resources to prevent gun violence, save lives, and make PA communities safer.

    A Public Health and Public Safety Issue

    Gun violence affects the health, safety, and quality of life of Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth. Each year, more than 1,600 Pennsylvanians die from firearm-related injuries, most suicide-related. Firearm-related injuries, fatalities, and crime are preventable, and Pennsylvania is tackling this issue through both a public safety and public health lens, investing in comprehensive and effective initiatives in small rural towns to big cities.
