National Gun Victims Action Council (NGVAC) is a non-profit network of 14 million gun victims, survivors, the faith community and ordinary people. Our approach is strategic and utilizes economic levers, novel legal strategies and the involvement of corporations to pursue sane gun laws. NGVAC was founded by Elliot Fineman after his only son, Michael, was fatally shot in 2006 by a mentally ill man who, despite having been institutionalized twice, was legally able to buy the gun. NGVAC is known for originating the action against Starbucks which resulted in their changing their gun policy.
