Ghost guns are unserialized and untraceable – and they're real guns. That's why Biden took action to regulate these dangerous weapons, but the gun lobby is determined to end his lifesaving executive rule. Brady is fighting them with everything we have but we can't win without your support. Can you respond to our urgent poll right now?

Hi John,
My name is Shira and I’m part of the legal team here at Brady. I’m reaching out to you today because of a critical threat to our national safety:
Unregulated, untraceable, and unserialized ghost guns.
|
Without regulation, these firearms do not require a background check, meaning anyone – including minors and prohibited purchasers – can get a kit online and assemble these deadly weapons at home.
The lack of regulation on ghost guns is exactly why they’ve become weapons of choice for criminals and their proliferation cannot be ignored. In 2017, law enforcement recovered 1,600 ghost guns. Merely four years later, 19,000 ghost guns were recovered. That’s a 1000% increase in ghost guns recovered from crimes, John.
|
Thankfully, President Biden enacted executive actions to properly classify dangerous ghost guns as firearms, subjecting them to existing, common sense firearms regulations. But, to no one's surprise, the gun lobby immediately began a legal battle against the rule. They would rather let Americans die than update firearm regulations to address our modern realities.
|
Brady is leading the charge against the gun lobby and in support of President Biden’s lifesaving rule, but we can’t win this fight alone. We need to show an outpouring of support for regulating these deadly ghost guns. That's why we're searching for 37 more activists from your area to speak out before midnight tonight. Please, John, answer our urgent poll now:

Ghost guns are a national threat to which we must respond – and that’s exactly what Brady is doing. We won’t stand down to the gun lobby or their deadly agenda. Your support helps us keep fighting.

Thank you for taking action today, John.
