Friend,

Gun violence has brought unimaginable pain to hundreds of communities in the past five months. In 2021 alone, communities have had to bear the burden of at least 244 mass shootings and 15 mass murders. But we can’t settle for the status quo on this.

Democratic Attorneys General are ferocious champions for gun safety reform and are already making big strides to deliver on the policy we need. With your help, we can win this fight and make our communities safer.

June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month, and we want you to join Dem AGs in taking action to prevent gun violence. Check out this list and then add your name to join them in this fight for a safer country:

• A group of 18 Dem AGs urged the U.S. Attorney General to close loopholes that allow “ghost guns” – untraceable, unserialized firearms – to evade lawful regulation. The Biden Administration announced an executive order targeting these harmful weapons in April.
• Dem AGs sent a letter to Senate leadership in support of David Chipman, noted gun safety activist and President Biden’s pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). He’s facing serious backlash from the GOP, including the 20 Republican AGs lobbying against his confirmation.
• Virginia’s Dem AG Mark Herring defended Virginia’s gun violence prevention laws from the NRA’s legal challenges, earning endorsements from Brady PAC, Giffords, and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. In just five months, AG Herring will be facing off against a GOP candidate who voted against universal background checks and red flag flaws.

Dem AGs are doing everything in their power to make our country safer, whether it’s getting unregulated firearms off the streets, advocating to Senate leadership, or shutting down lawsuits from gun lobbyists.

But they can’t do this alone, friend. Add your name right now to join Dem AGs in championing gun violence prevention measures.

Thanks,

Democratic Attorneys General Association
