The national gun control group founded to implement background checks on gun sales has replaced the public face of the organization this week.
The board of trustees of The Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence announced Wednesday that Dan Gross, president of the group since 2012, has stepped down.
Taking his place will be internal staffers, Kristin Brown and Avery Gardiner, who will serve as co-presidents. Brown was previously the organization’s chief strategy officer while Gardiner was the group’s chief legal officer.
“The Brady Campaign and Center’s mission to cut gun deaths in half by 2025 has never been more urgent,” said Kevin Quinn, chairman of the board, in a statement. “Brady has a focused strategy to prevent gun violence, and we need strong leaders with exceptional strategic and operational skills to achieve our goals.”
The group will reportedly refocus their efforts on expanding background checks to all gun sales, reforming what they term as “bad apple” gun dealers, and working to, “change the cultural perception that a gun in the home makes you safer.”
