John–
Earlier this summer, we shared that Facebook has been failing to stop dangerous gun sales on its platforms in a shocking way. Even though Facebook says it prohibits unlicensed gun sales, it actually lets gun buyers and sellers violate that rule 10 TIMES before it kicks them off its platforms.
To make matters worse, even gun purchasers or sellers who actively call for violence or praise a known dangerous organization still get five strikes before Facebook kicks them off its platforms.
With lives at stake, that kind of leniency is unacceptable.
That's why over the course of the last several weeks, we've been raising the pressure on Facebook to stop unlicensed gun sales and give no second chances. Nearly 50,000 people have already joined me in making their voices heard.

Just like unlicensed gun sellers shouldn't get 10 strikes, neither should Facebook.
Moms Demand Action has a lengthy history of getting corporations to realize their role in stopping gun violence, and getting them to act accordingly.
To get Facebook to change its dangerous policies on unlicensed gun sales, we need to put that grassroots muscle to work again.
Thank you for being a part of this movement.
