Thursday, September 28 - Close Gun Show Loopholes / Don’t Let AI Create Political Ads
Action You Can Take Today
Action 1: ATF Public Comment for Gun Safety
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is following through on President Biden's commitment to move us closer to background checks on all gun sales. In a newly proposed regulation, ATF is setting a clear and common-sense standard for when gun sellers must become licensed dealers and run background checks. It’s the next step in building on the life-saving Bipartisan Safer Communities Act we passed last summer.
But for ATF to finish the job on this life-saving action, it needs to know the public supports closing these dangerous loopholes—and we only have a short time to make our voices heard and make sure the gun industry doesn’t drown us out.
Submit your comment today in just two clicks: Tell ATF to close these dangerous loopholes. Gun sales online and at gun shows must have background checks!
