Our gun laws, and the people and agencies tasked with enforcing them, are under attack.
Right now, gun lobby allies in Congress are attempting to repeal one of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) life-saving regulations. They want to make it easier for people to get their hands on dangerous firearms: Guns equipped with arm braces. These guns have been used by shooters in multiple high-profile mass shootings—including just as recently as the shooting at a school in Nashville, Tennessee in March that stole six lives, including three nine-year-old children.
We cannot let our lawmakers gut our gun laws. These especially dangerous guns do not belong in our communities.
Send your message: Tell your U.S. senators to reject this attempt to repeal the ATF's life-saving arm brace regulation.
Dear Senator,
I urge you to vote no on S.J.Res. 20, which would repeal ATF's arm brace rule. I am writing to you as a constituent filled with grief, fear, and anger. I am fed up as countless acts of preventable gun violence continue to threaten the safety of communities across the country. Arm brace-equipped firearms have been used in a number of high-profile mass shootings, including in Dayton, Ohio, in 2019; in Boulder, Colorado, in 2021; in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2022; and in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2023. ATF's rule is common sense and life-saving. I urge you to protect our communities by opposing the extreme attempts to attack ATF, including efforts to repeal ATF's arm brace rule.
