DEADLINE ALERT:
There are less than 24 hours left to demand action on these dangerous gun parts. They've already been used in mass shootings.
Tell the ATF: Regulate arm braces NOW.

John—
On August 4, 2019, I was out enjoying the night with my father, Derrick Fudge, at a popular nightclub district in downtown Dayton, Ohio. A young man came down the sidewalk firing an AR-15 style weapon, killing my father beside me and ending eight other innocent lives.
Later, I learned the young man who shot and killed my father used a gun modified with an arm brace. They can be affixed to certain AR-15 style pistols—like the one used that night in Dayton—to make them function as short-barreled rifles: extremely lethal firearms that have been regulated since the 1930s.
But because the ATF has not effectively regulated arm braces, the gun industry has been able to sell MILLIONS of these extremely dangerous firearms and put them in communities like mine—completely evading gun safety laws in the process.
John, the ATF needs to hear from you about this NOW: With just two clicks, tell the ATF to close this deadly loophole.
That night in 2019, my dad died in my arms after shielding me from bullets that could have ended my life. I still cannot believe that I did not die.
Since then, I've dedicated my life to helping fellow survivors of gun violence, empowering my community, and fighting back against senseless gun violence and trauma across America. From victim compensation for survivors to regulating dangerous firearms, I know that in order to stop gun violence, we need all hands on deck.
John, can I count on you to honor the memory of my father and the eight other people shot and killed in Dayton? Demand action from the ATF today.
Thank you for taking action, and thank you for listening to my story. Together, we can end gun violence.
