Urgent update, friends.

DOGE is raiding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) with the goal of revising or eliminating dozens of public safety rules and gun restrictions by July 4.

According to early reporting, the Trump administration is:

Making it easier for people with serious mental health concerns to buy guns
Allowing more untraceable homemade weapons, known as ghost guns, to flood into our communities
Restoring gun rights to criminal offenders, including domestic abusers
Essentially eliminating federal inspections of gun dealers, giving gun traffickers permission to break the law.

Just a week ago, the Trump administration unveiled plans to eliminate 541 of the estimated 800 inspectors responsible for determining whether federally licensed gun dealers are following the law. These moves are being celebrated by gun manufacturers, whose profits increase when more illegal guns are sold.

With federal law enforcement being gutted, the PA State Police must step up to enforce the law in our state. The PA State Police already have the authority to ensure licensed gun dealers follow the law and to take action when they don't.

Please sign the petition to urge the state police to close the inspection gap by increasing inspections of gun dealers in Pennsylvania.
