We had to reach out with a critical update to our message from last week:
We just learned that Trump and his family have profited more than $3.4 BILLION (!!!) during Trump’s first few months back in the White House.
That includes MILLIONS gained from Don Jr’s so-called “Amazon of Guns” scheme, which makes it easier, cheaper, and faster to obtain a firearm at any time — without checks or regulations.
They even trademarked the tagline “Buy Now, Shoot Later” – and are allowing people to finance firearm purchases.
If we don’t take action – and fast – Trump, his family, and their MAGA cronies will use every bit of power they have to enrich themselves with blood money as they tear down our gun safety protections.
Please: Will you read our message about Trump and his family’s plots to make money off the deadly firearms that they’ve unleashed into our communities and then chip in $15 to hand them a STUNNING rebuke? >>

BREAKING:
DONALD TRUMP JR LAUNCHES “AMAZON OF GUNS” TO SELL FIREARMS ONLINE WITH HELP FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
We’re OUTRAGED!
FIRST:
Trump promised to be “the best friend” of the gun lobby and gun distributors if he took back the White House – and he immediately got to work keeping his word.
THEN:
Trump DEFUNDED the most significant piece of gun safety legislation passed in years, ORDERED his Attorney General to DISMANTLE 50+ gun regulations, and DESTROYED grants for gun safety research and programs.
NOW:
Trump’s very own son is using Trump’s heinous, anti-gun-safety agenda for his benefit – Don Jr just launched an online gun seller he’s calling “the Amazon of guns.”

Let us be clear: Don Jr wants to make it EASIER and FASTER for anyone to get an unregulated, untraceable, unpermitted gun sent directly to their doorstep at any time. Trump’s very own son even admitted that the move was for his father’s gun lobby donors by claiming the online retailer is necessary to “protect” the interests of gun owners and manufacturers – but not the tens of thousands of Americans who die every year to a gun. We can’t let them get away with enriching themselves with blatant blood money – not when Americans are dying in droves at the barrel of guns every day. We’ve already seen more than 275 mass shootings this year alone. We have to put an end to it. That’s why we’re calling on 555 grassroots gun safety champions to help us send Trump, Don Jr, and their gun lobby backers a forceful message: We won’t allow you to enrich yourselves off these weapons of war while tens of thousands of Americans die in the street because of them. Will you pitch in $15 – or whatever you can spare – before midnight? Each and every dollar goes to bold gun safety Democrats fighting against Trump and his cruel agenda. >>
We won’t mince words:
We warned you that Donald Trump would stop at nothing to make his gun lobby donors happy.
We warned you that he would use every method at his disposal to destroy our gun safety progress.
We warned you that Trump and his cronies were hell-bent on putting more firearms on our streets – no matter the cost.
Now, we’re warning you that Trump’s own family is getting in on the game – and that Don Jr. is hard at work enriching himself with blood money from guns.
We need to band together and put an end to this. While we’ve witnessed more than 9,500 Americans die and more than 275 mass shootings due to the MILLIONS of guns roaming our streets, Trump and his family are seeking to enrich themselves and their wealthy gun lobby backers by making it easier, cheaper, and faster to get a weapon – anywhere, anytime. They just don’t care that Americans are dying at the barrel of guns in our movie theatres, in elementary schools, at parades, on our military bases, and everywhere else. But we do. That’s why BAWN has contributed more than $1 MILLION to the campaigns of gun safety Democrats with the guts to stand up to Trump and his family against their anti-gun-safety agenda. But we need your help to stand up against them once again. We need 555 bold grassroots gun safety champions to join us before midnight in saying that enough is enough. If we fall short at this critical time, Trump, Don Jr, and their gun lobby backers will use it as proof that they can carry on stuffing their pockets with blood money while tens of thousands of Americans are shot and killed. Can you rush $15 before it’s too late? The more you give, the more we have in our accounts to counter Trump’s every move. >>
Thank you for everything,
