John, I'm Patton Oswalt — primarily a comedian, but also an actor, writer, and apparently several other things if you believe my Wikipedia page.

But for all the jokes I’ve told over the years, this stops me cold: Americans are 26 times more likely to be shot and killed than people in other high-income countries. This is no laughing matter.

And that doesn't change unless we do. Right now, your action genuinely matters. That's why I'm writing you now, to step up and make your 2x-matched gift to fuel life-saving advocacy.

The Trump administration is doing everything in its power to shield irresponsible gun dealers, who constantly put profits over American lives, even as a majority of voters on all sides of the aisle want stronger and more sensible gun laws.

When someone is killed by a gun every 11 minutes, there's no time to wait on Washington lawmakers to free America from gun violence. 

So I'm reaching out to you now on behalf of Brady, because they aren't waiting.

In 2025, their legal team took the fight to the courts. Thanks to your support, Brady shepherded major victories to hold gun dealers accountable, uphold regulations under attack by the current administration, and protect life-saving state laws from frivolous industry-led legal challenges.

And with just ONE day left for your donation to go TWICE as far, up to Brady's $50,000 flash goal, neither can you, John. Time is running out to close the remaining 36% gap.

So I come to you now — not as a comedian, but as a father, a husband, and a fellow human being — with a humble ask: 

Will you please take advantage of Brady's flash match by making a gift of $25 or anything you can right now to DOUBLE its life-saving impact? It's going to take each and every one of us to put an end to this national nightmare, and with this rare 2X-MATCH opportunity still active up to the $50,000 goal until tomorrow at midnight, there's never been a better time.

All jokes aside, John, thank you. Let's keep up the winning streak and save even more lives.

— Patton
