John- As millions of Americans are feeling the impact of a government shutdown, gun lobby-backed politicians are prioritizing doing the gun lobby's bidding—like introducing new legislation to make access to guns easier during a shutdown:
They want to pass a bill that would prioritize keeping the flow of gun sales moving even as paychecks stall and essential services remain frozen—we have to do something about this. That's why we must mobilize our base of nearly 11 million supporters to advocate for stronger gun laws and educate the public on gun safety, hold the gun industry accountable, and work toward a future free of gun violence. Worse yet, in the middle of this government shutdown, these same gun lobby-backed politicians are also pushing to hold a vote on a federal Concealed Carry Mandate once the government reopens. This mandate would force each state to allow people—including people with dangerous histories like convicted stalkers and domestic abusers—from other states to carry hidden, loaded guns in public, including in states where they would not otherwise be allowed to carry. We simply can't allow the gun lobby's priorities to take precedence over the safety of the American people. Help us hold their allies accountable, organize our grassroots network to build safer communities, educate the public on common-sense gun policies, and build lasting power to end gun violence by donating to the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund today.
Thank you for standing with us and for your commitment to securing a future free of gun violence. Everytown for Gun Safety  |
