Friend,
Ghost guns are a threat to our public safety. In 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recovered more than 20,000 ghost guns through their investigations.1
These are guns that have no serial numbers, can be assembled from building blocks, and require no federal background check―until now:
The Biden administration has finalized new steps to tighten these ghost gun loopholes and keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers, minors, and others at risk of dangerous behavior.
Can you sign the petition today telling President Biden that you support ghost gun regulation?
Our country is in a gun violence crisis, which our government must take steps to address.
President Biden’s new rules include:
-
Requiring anyone purchasing a kit to undergo a background check, as is required for other firearms
-
Requiring sellers of ghost gun kits to mark components with a serial number so that the weapon produced can be traced
-
It also mandates that firearm dealers add a serial number to already-built ghost guns they come across in their businesses
Recent polling shows that 2 in 3 Americans support gun violence prevention laws like the rules introduced by the president.2
But the NRA and gun lobby are fighting us at every turn, with their spending soaring since President Biden took office.3
We know that the voices of millions of people can defeat the deep pockets of the NRA. Join me in fighting for stricter gun violence prevention laws, like the ones introduced by President Biden. Sign the petition today!
Thank you for fighting for a safer, more just society.
Always serving you,
Rashida
