Our mission is to create safer homes and neighborhoods by incentivizing homeowners to not have guns
insurance industry in MA to offer a discounted policy rate to homeowners
without guns. We call this a Safe Home Credit. While we are starting with the
Massachusetts home insurance industry, our goal, with your help, will be to
make this a national movement.
A financial incentive – such as a discounted homeowner policy – is one way to
motivate people to remove guns from their homes or to never acquire one in
the first place. The home insurance industry provides these kinds of discounts
to families without other risks in their homes such as swimming pools,
trampolines and dogs. But not guns.
Our Case
there are about 500 fatalities & nearly 85,000 annual injuries from accidental shootings
having access to a firearm triples suicide risk, and 91% of attempts result in death
a firearm in the home is shown to raise the risk of a homicide by thee times the normal rate
How It Works
an affinity group will be created
an affinity group is a group of people having a common interest or objective or acting together for a specific purpose
the goal?
a group of 3,000 dedicated individuals in Massachusetts willing to endorse the first leading home insurance company to offer a policy discount for a home without a firearm
this group will provide the collective buying power necessary to incentivize this policy discount
