New ?Faces of Gun Violence? Exhibit and Kiosk at ATF Headquarters
[ [link removed] ]

ATF recently installed a Faces of Gun Violence [ [link removed] ] exhibit and kiosk at its headquarters building. Every day in the United States, more than 100 people lose their lives through firearms violence. And many more are injured, often very seriously. At ATF, we work every day to seek justice for the victims and survivors of gun crime. ATF knows firsthand that this violence is not about statistics ? it?s about human beings.

We invite family members to submit photographs of their loved ones who have been killed by gun violence to be considered for inclusion in the exhibit and kiosk. If you would like to submit a photo of a loved one lost to gun violence, email <[email protected]> their name, age and a photograph for ATF?s consideration.

ATF will never give up in its quest to seek justice, and we will never forget to lift up the lives and voices of those we seek to protect.
