Hi, it’s me, Brandon – CeaseFirePA Action’s Deputy Director of Government Affairs. I’m coming to you live from Harrisburg. 

Before I go into the Capitol, I wanted to make sure you saw Adam’s email from the other day. ICYMI: HB 777, which would ban ghost guns as we know them, is heading to House floor votes this week. 

I’m doing my part to sway our legislators to vote YES on this life-saving bill, but your grassroots support gives me the credibility I need to make my case. So, I wanted to ask you myself: will you please read Adam’s email below and then click here to call on your Representative to vote YES on HB 777 this week?

Thank for all you do,

Brandon Flood

Deputy Director of Government Affairs

Last weekend in Bucks County, a gunman used a semi-automatic ghost gun to commit a triple homicide and then fled to New Jersey in a stolen vehicle. This triggered an interstate manhunt, and forced the Falls Township community into a weekend-long lock down, canceling their St. Patrick’s Day parade.¹ 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Legislation to effectively ban ghost guns is coming to final votes on the PA House floor in the coming days and I need you to urgently contact your Representative today and ask them to vote YES on this life-saving legislation.

HB 777² is a bill that would ban ghost guns as we know them. Right now in Pennsylvania, anyone can purchase kits to assemble untraceable firearms, known as ghost guns, without passing a background check. These kits require no specialized skill and, critically, lack the serial numbers law enforcement rely on to trace weapons used in crimes. 

This bill would change that forever. It would require manufacturers to serialize ghost gun kits, and purchasers to pass a background check before acquiring these deadly weapons. It would reduce violence by treating ghost guns the same way we treat every other gun in the Commonwealth.

This bill is a no-brainer, and it would save the lives of countless Pennsylvanians. We must call on our Representatives to pass this vital legislation. Will you join me in taking action by emailing your Representative, and demanding they vote YES on HB 777? Simply click here or on the button below to send them a message.

Thank you for demanding change,

Adam Garber
