![Rotating GIF featuring opposition comments to the ATF's proposed rule. Quotes read: "This is tyranny! Absolute tyranny! [...] I fervently oppose the ATF's incessant scheming, plotting, and treachery! I stand in opposition to this proposed rule!"; “There is no reason, in good faith to support this level of tyranny. It is disgusting to see the level of infringement already existing to support their position of applying more tyranny.”; “The ATF is overreaching. This is politically motivated by those seeking tyranny. We know what you are up to, you lie, you are traitors, and you do not do this for safety but for your own gain of power. The ATF needs to be reined in hard, and the Biden administration declared criminal, and exposed further as election stealers, and grifters.”](https://dqu3kreb1igu7.cloudfront.net/images/ATF-Quotes-Gif-Email-101723A.gif)
Hi–
Inaccurate, baseless, and unfounded comments like these are piling up against a newly proposed gun safety rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that would close dangerous loopholes in our background check system.
But this isn't tyranny, this is the ATF implementing a bipartisan law that's already on the books!
This rule is common sense and life-saving. These loopholes have allowed people to buy guns online and at gun shows without first passing a background check for decades. But this will only change if ATF hears how important this is to you.
Show your support for this life-saving measure. Submit your comment today and demand our leaders take action to close background check loopholes.
These loopholes enable people with felony convictions, domestic abuse restraining orders, and other people with prohibiting histories to buy guns from unlicensed gun sellers with no questions asked.
And even though there are tens of thousands of opposition comments, we can't let the gun lobby drown out our voices—which means we can't let the opposition gain traction.
Thank you for being a part of this movement,
Everytown for Gun Safety
P.S. After you submit your comment, forward this email to three friends who support closing background check loopholes and ask them to submit their comments to ATF to stop the gun lobby from silencing our message.
