John, I wanted to make sure you didn't miss this, because we
need your help right now.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) needs to
know the public supports closing dangerous loopholes that gun sellers have
exploited for decades.

And the gun industry is already going all out to try to get ATF not to
act.

John, we have some urgent and exciting news: The Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is following through on
President Biden's commitment to move us closer to background checks on all
gun sales.

In a newly proposed regulation, ATF 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 passed last summer.

For decades, gun sellers have exploited loopholes in federal law that let
them sell guns online and at gun shows without conducting background
checks. It's a recipe for disaster that worsens our country's gun violence
crisis.

This proposed regulation goes directly to these loopholes we have been
trying to close for years. It expands background checks to guns offered
for sale online or at gun shows, keeps weapons out of the hands of
dangerous people, and ultimately saves lives.

But for ATF to finish the job on this life-saving action, it needs to know
the public supports closing these dangerous loopholes. We need to make our
voices heard—and make sure the gun industry doesn't drown us out.

dangerous loopholes. Gun sales online and at gun shows must have
background checks!

ATF's proposed regulation makes it clear: If you're offering guns for sale
online or at a gun show, then you're presumed to be trying to make a
profit. You need to get a license to do business and run background checks
on your customers.

We need this kind of life-saving action to stop firearms from ending up in
the hands of people who can't pass a background check.

And once again, we're seeing how the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is
having a lasting impact. Because we got Congress to pass that historic gun
safety law last year, the Biden-Harris Administration and ATF now have the
tools to help close these deadly loopholes. Thanks to supporters like you,
our movement has helped make this regulation a possibility.

We fought hard to set the stage for this kind of action—now, let's make
sure it happens. [ [link removed] ]Submit your comment today telling ATF that you support
closing these online and gun show loopholes.

Thank you for being a part of this movement.
