Global Gun Safety Awareness is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity located in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was formed in 2017.
GGSA’s mission and message is to warn parents about the danger of a hidden gun, to create new dialog about better solutions, to change thinking about children and guns, to offer alternatives, and to generate new behavior which protects children and ensures their safety.
GGSA’s mission is supported by numerous gun safety organizations, pediatricians, as well as gun safety trainers, gun retailers, and gun professionals. This issue transcends politics — No one wants to see a child hurt or killed.

Gerry Hills, Founder and Vice President of Arizonans for Gun Safety, believes now is the perfect time to talk about weapon regulations. According to Hills, the rising number of shootings in the United States needs to be addressed, and the best way to do that is to revisit regulations regarding gun control. Thoughts and prayers are good, said Hills, but action needs to be taken to prevent future tragedies.
