Gun Violence Prevention Advocate,
It’s an exciting time for gun safety: after Congress passed the historic Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and strengthened gun background checks after the Uvalde massacre, now we have the chance to enact a new federal rule to move us closer to truly universal background checks. But we need your help to do it.

The Department of Justice has proposed a new rule that would require more firearm dealers who have historically sold weapons in off-book sales to do background checks on all gun sales. This new rule would close the deadly gap in regulation and would prevent more guns from getting into the hands of potentially dangerous people who are already prohibited from possessing guns. [1] It could save countless lives in Pennsylvania and across the country.
The proposed rule is now open for public comments, which will be considered when deciding to formally enact the rule. Here’s where we need your help.
Gun extremists are trying to derail this progress, mobilizing thousands of comments against this life-saving regulation.

In Pennsylvania, you do not need a background check to buy a long gun such as rifles, shotguns, or military-style assault weapons from private sellers. [2] This is a deadly gap in regulation, allowing potentially dangerous individuals to access weapons of war.
It's simple: 89% of Pennsylvania voters support background checks on all gun purchases. [3]
We want to speak out for the overwhelming majority of Pennsylvanians who support a background check with every gun sale. This federal regulation will move us closer to that goal. Please take a minute to leave a comment today. [[link removed]]
