Together, we're making critical progress in the movement to end gun violence.
For decades, gun sellers have exploited loopholes in federal law that let them sell guns online and at gun shows without conducting background checks—and now we have a chance to change that. In a newly proposed regulation, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) under the Biden Administration's leadership is setting a clear and common-sense standard for when gun sellers must become licensed dealers and run background checks. It's the next step in building on the life-saving Bipartisan Safer Communities Act we helped pass last summer. Closing this loophole would be a huge victory for gun safety.
And we're celebrating more big news from the White House! Just last week, the Biden-Harris Administration unveiled a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention that will be based in the White House and advance the Administration's ambitious gun violence prevention agenda.
At the same time, we're making important progress at the state level: so far this year, state legislatures have passed more than 80 new gun safety policies and blocked more than 95% of the gun lobby's agenda.
Truly, fighting for gun safety at all levels of government would be impossible without our thousands of incredible Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers. And when we're going toe-to-toe with the gun lobby, it requires a lot of financial resources, too—that's why we rely on the generous support of grassroots donors.
