John,

Before I was at Brady, I was in the Marine Corps. I am a gun owner, and I believe strongly in the Second Amendment. And today I’m going to ask you to take your first action to combat gun violence.

Here is the thing: You can support the Second Amendment AND believe we need stronger gun laws. Anyone who says you cannot is simply misinformed.

At Brady, our approach is unique because it embraces not just legislative action, but also education and litigation in pursuit of ending America’s gun violence epidemic. Because when you’re trying to tackle a big problem, you have to come at it from all sides. We believe that in addition to changing laws, we must change our culture and hold bad actors in the gun industry accountable in the courts. No one should be above the law!

Today I’m going to ask you this: Will you add your name to our petition on background checks? Right now, 20% of gun sales do not require a criminal background check. That means convicted felons, potential terrorists, and people with histories of violence can readily buy guns. Add your name to support universal background checks on all gun sales >>>

Thank you for your support, John. It’s in our hands to end gun violence in America.
