The gun industry is already going all out to defeat this life-saving gun safety regulation.

Hi, 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.

We need to make sure the gun industry doesn't drown us out. Submit your comment today telling ATF to close the gun show and online loopholes!

Hi, 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.

Submit your comment today in just two clicks: Tell ATF to close these 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. 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.
