John, tomorrow marks four years since the Rancho Tehama shooting in Tehama, CA. The gunman used an untraceable “ghost gun” during the massacre, shooting pedestrians in their cars and children in their school.
In all, the gunman killed five people and injured 11 others, including five children.
Tragically, the community of Tehama, CA, is not alone, John. In recent years, ghost guns have proliferated across the country, becoming the weapon of choice for prohibited purchasers. In fact, the Rancho Tehama gunman was barred from purchasing and possessing firearms.
Yet he was able to obtain a ghost gun because they are unregulated and require no Brady Background Check. But right now at Brady, we are taking a stand against ghost guns to save lives.
Brady Legal is defending the victims and survivors of the Rancho Tehama shooting in our nation’s first civil lawsuit against the ghost gun industry. In California, we helped pass local ordinances to ban ghost guns. And federally, in Congress, we’re calling on the ATF to regulate ghost guns and the parts to build them.
As you can see, we’re working tirelessly across Congress, the courts, and our communities to combat ghost guns and save lives — and we won’t give up. But we cannot do this vitally important work alone. We need support from dedicated grassroots supporters like you. Please, John, will you rush a gift to Brady right now? Your gift today will help us save lives.
Thank you for your support,
Team Brady

🎧 Episode 157: ”Service Never Stops" — Veterans Preventing Gun Suicide
America’s deadliest shootings are the ones we rarely talk about: Over half of all gun deaths are suicides. This crisis has an outsized impact on the veteran community, with 63 veterans dying by suicide each day. But veterans from across the country are uniting to address this crisis by practicing and promoting safe firearm storage. In recognition of Veteran's Day, we’re joined by End Family Fire Director Dr. Ted C. Bonar and veterans part of our “Service Never Stops” campaign to discuss suicide prevention, safe firearm storage, and how their “service never stops” as veterans.
