Founded by Igor Volsky in 2016, who spent 10 years working at the Center for American Progress building coalitions for rapid response campaigns across progressive issues, GDA has a history of quickly driving rapid response efforts that further the liberal agenda.
Guns Down America wants to move our country to fewer guns by running campaigns to weaken the gun industry, the NRA, and the lawmakers who support liberty.
Guns Down America claims they led successful campaigns that have forced FedEx to stop providing discounts to NRA members, drove two large insurers (Chubb and Lockton Affinity) to break their business relationship with the NRA’s Carry Guard insurance and helped push the NRA toward bankruptcy, pushed the nation’s largest banks to back away from doing business with the gun industry, and convinced Walmart to significantly reduce their gun sales and begin actively lobbying for gun reform.
