Friend,
In June, the Supreme Court struck down the ATF’s rule to prohibit the production, sale, and possession of bump stocks – devices that turn semi-automatic firearms into machine guns – putting them back into civilian hands and putting all of us at risk.
Then, gun rights extremists in the Senate voted down legislation that would have addressed this egregious decision and federally banned bump stocks.
We cannot rest while lawmakers and judges alike continue to put our lives at risk. Add your name to Brady’s urgent petition to
ban bump stocks NOW. >>

We have witnessed the extremely deadly risks of bump stocks, friend. In 2017, a gunman used assault rifles equipped with bump stocks to kill 60 people and injure over 400 others in a matter of minutes. It remains the deadliest shooting in American history. Putting bump stocks back in civilian hands means that any gathering – whether a music festival, a parade, or a block party – could become a warzone in seconds.
In the wake of the worst mass shooting in our country’s modern history, the sale and use of bumpstocks was prohibited at the direction of the Trump administration with broad bipartisan support because it was clear that these devices were only good for death and destruction.

Now, both the Supreme Court and gun rights extremists in the Senate are playing right into the gun lobby’s hands, friend, and we cannot stand idly by and watch them put our lives at risk: Congress must take action to save lives by banning bump stocks. Will you sign onto Brady’s urgent petition right now and urge Congress to act in the interest of the American people?

Thank you for taking urgent action today.
