Evolve USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization[3] that advocates for gun safety. In contrast to many groups involved in gun politics in the United States, Evolve focuses on individual, voluntary actions to prevent accidental shootings.[4][5] It was founded in 2013, after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[6]

In 2015 they ran an ad campaign that caught media attention for its humour, using "hilarious social faux pas to illustrate the danger of keeping guns in the house."[7]
