Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence

Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence (IPGV), a non-profit organization,
is committed to building safer Iowa communities by reducing gun violence through educational and advocacy programs. IPGV supports public policies that address gun violence as a public health epidemic rather than as a crime problem.

IPGV is concerned with all forms of gun violence, including homicides, suicides and unintentional injuries. Each year nearly 200 Iowans are killed with firearms. Approximately 85% of these gun deaths are suicides. IPGV devotes a significant amount of our resources on reducing gun suicides with an emphasis on teenage suicide prevention programs.

IPGV is also the coordinator of the Campaign to Close the Newspaper loophole, a nationwide effort that asks newspapers to adopt a policy to restrict firearms advertisements in the classifieds to licensed dealers only. This policy ensures that a background check is conducted on every firearm transferred through the newspaper and that felons, domestic abusers, and minors cannot buy guns illegally through the classifieds.
