John, here's the kind of extreme gun legislation we're up against:
- Shoot First law that would allow killing over graffiti: A bill to expand Arizona's Shoot First law would make it legal to murder someone for minor property damage like graffiti, even if no one's life is in danger.
- Armed parades and militias: Lawmakers in Idaho advanced a bill this year that would let people form militias and openly parade with firearms—including white supremacist militias.
- Concealed handguns in public spaces with no background check or safety training: Just in the past couple weeks, three more states have passed permitless carry laws despite strong opposition from constituents, community leaders, and law enforcement. One of the gun lobby's top priorities in recent years, these laws allow people to carry hidden, loaded handguns in public with NO permit, background check, or safety training.
We're taking on the gun lobby's extremism. We're stopping even more bad gun bills and advancing strong gun safety policies in both Republican and Democrat-controlled legislatures. In Florida and Georgia we've launched campaigns to repeal Shoot First laws where they were first championed by the NRA nearly two decades ago.
