The Trump Administration just repealed the ATF's critically important “zero tolerance” policy that was aimed at shutting down lawbreaking gun dealers. Only 5% of gun dealers supply 90% of crime guns in the country and this policy was designed to specifically target those bad actors. Repealing this policy will make us all less safe, and we need to hear what real Americans think on this issue:

Should gun dealers be allowed to operate if they willfully break the law?

This is only the beginning of the Trump Administration's assault on critically important gun violence prevention legislation, friend: The Department of Justice just announced the repeal of ATF’s “zero tolerance” policy.
|
DOJ claims that it “unfairly targeted law-abiding gun owners and created an undue burden on Americans seeking to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms.” And their analysis couldn’t be more wrong.
The “zero tolerance” policy did not impact gun owners, it made it easier for the ATF to hold accountable gun dealers that willfully and egregiously broke the law.
This policy didn’t create any new barriers to obtaining a firearm, it attempted to stem the flow of illegally sold weapons into the criminal market.
|
This move is dangerous, friend: Repealing this policy will allow rogue gun dealers to stay in business, even if they sell guns to prohibited purchasers or fail to run background checks – and we will all be less safe. The Second Amendment does not give gun dealers the right to operate outside of law and order. If you agree, will you respond to our live poll NOW? >>

The Department of Justice may not care about the safety of Americans, but we do, friend. Brady won’t stop fighting to protect our citizens from gun violence and we’re glad you’re in this fight with us.
