GunBaiL: A Movement to Stop the Tears
GunBaiL is led by entrepreneur, Trevor Brooks, whose experiences with gun violence growing up in Baltimore led him to create a new solution to lessen the impact of illegal guns on urban communities. He’s supported by former Priceline co-founder, Jeff Hoffman and former NFL star, Ray Lewis.
GunBaiL was launched with a simple concept: Since most of the gun homicides in our cities are committed using illegally obtained guns, reducing the availability of those guns will help stem the tide of violence.
To help make this happen, we are developing an innovative platform that allows non-violent offenders to surrender their illegal guns in exchange for bail release.
