Last week in a congressional hearing, gun industry CEOs admitted to some
rather shocking things under oath.

The CEO of Daniel Defense, Marty Daniel, said that getting kids interested
in guns is good for the bottomline of gun companies.

Meanwhile, Christopher Killoy, the CEO of Ruger, said they do not track
crimes committed with their guns, arguing that it's not their job to do so
and claiming they don't have the resources.

These are the same gun manufacturers that rake in millions every year and
face no consequences for their role in enabling violence. It's time to
change that. [ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to show you support holding the gun

John–

For too long, gun manufacturers have been able to operate in the shadows,
to make money off our nation's gun violence crisis—without any
accountability.

Last week, we saw that finally begin to change.

In the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform, the CEOs of two large
gun companies had to testify under oath. And their answers to questions
from our lawmakers made something abundantly clear: They refuse to take
responsibility for how their business practices and products have
contributed to violence and the destruction of communities across the
country.

the petition to show you support holding the gun industry accountable.

At last week's congressional hearing, the CEOs of Sturm, Ruger & Company,
Inc. and Daniel Defense, LLC testified under oath.

Daniel Defense made the weapon used to kill 21 people in Uvalde, Texas, in
May. And this month, Everytown Law called on the Federal Trade Commission
to investigate Daniel Defense's marketing of its assault weapons,
particularly to young men.

So while the CEO of Daniel Defense, Marty Daniel, denied under oath that
the company's advertising practices targeting children and young adults
are dangerous, we can't help but beg to differ.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The gun industry makes money, while our country pays the price.

We refuse to let that continue to be the case.

Last week's congressional hearing was a critical step in holding gun
manufacturers accountable. Now, we need to keep up the pressure on these
corporate leaders to make their products and business practices safer.
They cannot look the other way while gun violence rips apart our country.

Thank you for being a part of this movement.
