friend,

We need your help supporting a federal rule that will help prevent gun violence and save lives both at home and abroad. 

You might have seen the headlines: Legally exported firearms from America are being recovered in crimes across the globe, including in Mexico, Haiti, and more. These firearms, including assault weapons, fuel devastating cycles of violence and pose a grave threat to human rights, democracy, and U.S. national security. 

The U.S. Department of Commerce is seeking public comment on a proposed federal rule that will strengthen the review of firearms and related exports and restrict the export of assault weapons. But to little surprise, the gun industry is doing everything in its power to sink this rule. It’s bad for their bottom line: More bloodshed equals more profits.

It’s time to stop prioritizing gun industry profits over human lives and public safety — and you can help us. Will you sign our letter and show your support for this life-saving rule? The gun industry is flooding the system with comments, so please take action NOW! 

Late last month, new rules went into effect that ensure fewer American firearms are exported to countries where they may be used to fuel violence. These changes included reforms to improve tracking and data collection, limit firearms exports to countries of particular concern, bolster risk assessments for exports to non-governmental end-users, and more. 

While these improvements are an important step forward, there’s more work to be done — and that’s why we’re doing everything in our power to support this new proposed federal rule. It includes much-needed reforms to prevent American firearms from landing in the hands of terrorists, drug cartels, gun traffickers, rogue regimes, and more.

We can play a critical role in ending gun violence across the globe, and this rule is one of the most important solutions, so please sign our letter now. 

In solidarity, 

Tanya Schardt
