BREAKING FROM POLITICO:
Biden administration proposes to close loophole on background checks

Friend: President Biden, Sen. Gillibrand and other Democratic leaders are fighting to expand background checks and protect communities nationwide from gun violence. But they need grassroots activists like you to stand with them.

Please, will you add your name before 11:59 p.m. tonight to show your support for background checks? We're counting on 10,000 activists to add their names!

Friend, America is in the midst of a gun violence epidemic. There have been nearly 500 mass shootings in 2023 alone. Our children and communities are living in fear of gun assailants and violence every day. But it doesn't have to be this way.

There are simple gun safety reforms that we know will curb gun violence and make our communities safer. The vast majority of Americans support basic reforms like expanded background checks.

Gun safety legislation shouldn't be a partisan issue. It's about protecting communities and preventing senseless deaths. But the far-right gun lobby is spending MILLIONS each year to stop commonsense legislation from becoming the law of the land. And each year, the cycle of mass shootings and violence continues.

That's why Democrats are fighting to finally make a change and pass universal background checks! This would be a major step forward to a safer future — and we're counting on grassroots activists like you to join these Democratic leaders in standing up to the gun lobby. Please, will you add your name before midnight tonight to show your support for expanded background checks?
