Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Denver Accord and its purpose?

The Denver Accord is a four-principle framework developed by gun control advocates. Its purpose is to advance a national gun control agenda by shifting public perception, reframing gun violence as a public health crisis, and advocating for specific legislative measures to restrict firearm ownership.

How does the Denver Accord aim to change public perception about guns?

The first principle, "Guns do not make us safer," seeks to alter public psychology by emphasizing the risks associated with firearm ownership, such as increased chances of suicide and homicide, rather than focusing on self-defense benefits.

What is the strategy behind framing gun violence as a public health crisis?

By classifying gun violence as a public health crisis, advocates aim to bring it under the purview of health organizations like the CDC, allowing for increased government data collection, funding, and control over policy solutions, potentially leading to more restrictive measures.

What are the four main principles of the Denver Accord?

The four principles are: 1) Guns do not make us safer, 2) Gun violence is a pervasive public health crisis, 3) Equitable and just enforcement of gun laws is paramount, and 4) Everyone has the right to live free from violence.
