John–
Ghost guns have become a weapon of choice for extremists—including incels, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists. The consequences are already terrifying:
Right now, the ATF is accepting public comments about regulating ghost guns. The gun lobby is going ALL OUT to flood the ATF with comments opposing any regulation—and the ATF urgently needs to hear from us. John, submit your comment to the ATF today urging them to regulate ghost guns. Time is running out to make your voice heard.
Ghost guns are DIY, homemade guns made from easy-to-get and unserialized building blocks—often sold with all of the other pieces needed for a person to make a fully functional gun in under an hour. And it all happens without a background check.
The fact that these nearly-finished firearms can be purchased without a background check or any federal oversight is exactly why they appeal to people who intend to harm others—including domestic abusers, violent extremists, gun traffickers, and more generally, people legally prohibited from buying firearms.
The longer the federal government waits to confirm that ghost guns are subject to federal regulation, the worse this crisis will get. If gone unchecked, ghost guns can undermine every single gun safety law in the country.
Time is running out to make your voice heard on this important issue. Submit a comment today in support of the ATF's proposed rule to regulate ghost guns and put an end to this crisis.
Thank you for taking action.
