Colorado Gun Violence Prevention Resource Bank
Welcome to the Colorado Gun Violence Prevention Resource Bank, a website dedicated to helping Coloradans understand and prevent firearm-related harms, including injuries, death, and the psychological and emotional impact of experiencing or fearing them.
Colorado Gun Violence Prevention Resource Bank
Firearms are part of many Coloradans’ lives: the right to bear arms is included in the state Constitution, and data from the 2023 Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Survey showed that nearly half (45%) of Colorado adults live in a household with at least one firearm. At the same time, there are risks associated with firearms that affect all of Colorado’s communities, and everyone has a role to play in preventing injury and death.
Please consider sharing your feedback by completing a brief survey. Your feedback will help us continue to improve the Resource Bank.
