John–

Our efforts have paid off. President Biden's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has finalized a new rule to rein in ghost
guns. This is a huge win for public safety and a huge loss for any
criminals and extremists who wanted to buy untraceable guns with no
background check and no questions asked.

This victory wouldn't have been possible without people like you across
the country. Last year, Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action
volunteers drove nearly 100,000 comments to the ATF in support of reining
in ghost guns.

But the good news doesn't end there: President Biden also announced today
that he is nominating former U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach to become the
next director of the ATF! A new director confirmed by the Senate can help
the ATF focus on fully enforcing laws and regulations like the one
finalized today to keep our communities safe.

Because of you, we're celebrating a huge victory in the fight for gun
safety. [ [link removed] ]Now help our movement take the next step: Tell your U.S.
senators to confirm Steve Dettelbach as the next director of the ATF.

This new rule on ghost guns could not be more necessary. It builds off of
years of work by members of our movement who have led the charge by
demanding action in Congress, the courts, their home states, and the White
House to stop this crisis. By taking action, the ATF will cut off the
stream of these untraceable guns, helping to prevent gun violence and save
lives.

If confirmed, Dettelbach would also be the first Senate-confirmed ATF
director since 2015. For the last seven years, the federal government's
main agency for holding rogue and reckless members of the gun industry
accountable has lacked the leadership and clear direction needed to keep
illegal guns out of our communities. [ [link removed] ]Tell your U.S. senators to confirm
Steve Dettelbach as the next ATF director now.

The fight to stop ghost guns is not over, but this new rule is a victory
worth taking the time to celebrate. It took years of work to get us here,
work that has now paid off in a huge way.

Thank you for being in this fight, and thank you for demanding action.
