[ [link removed]- ]Help keep guns out of the wrong hands with an urgent donation to
Everytown and Moms Demand Action.

John — data obtained by Everytown through a Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request shows a giant leap in March 2020 for gun
sales that were allowed through what is known as the Charleston loophole.
The loophole is simple: if the FBI fails to complete a background check
within three business days, the buyer can get their gun — no questions
asked.

[ [link removed]- ]We're fighting to close the Charleston loophole and pass legislation to
require background checks on ALL gun sales. Contribute to strengthen our
work to pass stronger gun laws and end gun violence.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your

We estimate that in just one month more than 1,100 guns fell into the
hands of prohibited purchasers, including certain domestic abusers and
people convicted of violent crimes, as a result of the massive gun-buying
wave at the beginning of the pandemic.

The Charleston loophole is named after the tragic 2015 racist shooting at
Charleston's Mother Emanuel AME Church. The shooter, a white supremacist,
obtained the handgun through this loophole and used it to kill nine Black
worshippers.

[ [link removed]- ]We continue to push for stronger gun laws, and hope you're in it with
us. Donate today to the movement to end gun violence.

Thanks in advance for your generous help.

Sincerely,

Rob Wilcox
Deputy Director of Policy and Strategy
Everytown for Gun Safety
