Hi,

For decades, unlicensed sellers have been able to sell guns at gun shows
and online without background checks—allowing guns to fall into the hands
of people who wouldn’t pass a background check and even gun traffickers.

But, last fall, our movement drove hundreds of thousands of comments in
support of a life-saving rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) that would expand background checks to more
gun sales, effectively shutting down these dangerous loopholes in our
background check system. We outnumbered the gun lobby’s opposition and
secured a big win for gun safety.

But now, gun extremists in Congress are relentlessly attacking this rule
and threatening to stop our progress. [ [link removed] ]Not on our watch—it's time for us
all to show up and show out again. Will you join us?

[ [link removed] ]Please, chip in with a special gift today to help us put a
stop to these terrible assaults on our progress, counter the gun lobby's
momentum, hold these lawmakers accountable, and secure the gun safety
progress we've worked so hard to obtain.

[ [link removed] ]CHIP IN FOR GUN SAFETY TODAY

Here's a fact: nearly 41% of gun trafficking cases between 2017 and 2021
involved unlicensed dealers—underscoring the urgent need for this
life-saving rule. It's high time that unlicensed gun sellers become
licensed firearms dealers and, in turn, run background checks on their
customers.

Because when guns fall into the hands of people who shouldn't have them,
we pay the cost with our lives.

[ [link removed] ]Help us ensure that these reckless attacks on our safety don't succeed
and that we can continue to push for more gun safety laws that protect our
community.

Thank you for helping us save lives,
Everytown for Gun Safety
