The Trump Administration is setting the stage for gun rights for prohibited purchasers – including convicted domestic abusers – to be restored on a large scale. While countless American lives would be put at risk, who benefits? The gun industry.

This is yet another example of Trump's loyalty to gun industry profits over the lives of every citizen in our country, and we will not remain silent while he blatantly disregards life-saving gun laws. Will you add your name to Brady’s urgent petition now and call on lawmakers to stop the president's dangerous agenda? >>

Friend,

Trump wants to give his good friend Mel Gibson – a convicted domestic abuser – access to firearms. And when a Justice Department official objected, she was fired. She described the series of events that occurred behind closed doors as one that “put public safety and the department’s integrity at risk.”

Friend, this isn’t just about Trump trying to circumvent gun laws for his friends’ personal gain, this is part of a long term effort by the administration to allow guns in the hands of prohibited purchasers, including convicted domestic abusers.

This is almost certainly a plan bolstered by the gun industry, hoping to open up a market that was previously unavailable to them: People who can’t legally own firearms. This administration may tout being ‘tough on crime,’ but they are clearly only concerned with the gun industry’s bottom line.

We cannot accept a president who has the audacity to put gun industry profits over public safety. And we will not remain silent while the Trump Administration continues to undermine life-saving laws and precedent while making gun industry executives richer, please: Send a message to lawmakers and urge them to stop the president from restoring gun rights to domestic abusers and other prohibited purchasers. >>

The truth is that putting guns in the hands of domestic abusers will lead to more death, friend. The mere presence of a firearm in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of a person being killed by 500%. Congress and even Trump’s packed Supreme Court agree that convicted domestic abusers should not have the right to possess a firearm.

I’m counting on grassroots activists to speak out today and advocate for the safety of Amercian citizens. Please, add your name to our urgent petition and tell lawmakers to stop President Trump from restoring gun rights to domestic abusers and putting lives at risk. >>
