Contents: The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence (formerly the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence) is dedicated to the enactment and enforcement of sensible gun laws, regulations, and public policies; to the election of pro-gun control public officials; and to increasing public awareness of gun violence. The Legal Action Project of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence provides information to the general public about this organization’s work in the courts. This site offers special reports on issues relating to gun laws and regulations, written by staff attorneys and published in PDF. Other published articles by Legal Action Project (LAP) attorneys are reprinted here. Of interest to legal researchers, visitors to the site can see LAP’s entire litigation docket, which may be browsed by issues such as negligent gun distribution and assault weapons. Researchers may also browse LAP’s research and materials through the “Gun Industry Reform” section, which covers topics such as unsafe gun designs and deceptive gun advertising.
