Everytown for Gun Safety

The Gun Lobby is Desperately Trying to Repeal North Carolina's Background Checks on Unlicensed Handgun Sales. Act Now Before NC Senators Vote!

The North Carolina Senate votes soon on legislation that would open a loophole in our permitting system, repealing background check requirements on unlicensed handgun sales.

At a time when far too many people are dying from gun violence, North Carolina lawmakers should be working to strengthen our gun safety laws, not dismantle them.

Send the following message to NC state senators urging them to vote NO on HB 398 >>

Dear Senator,

As a North Carolina resident, I urge you to vote no on HB 398—legislation that would gut gun safety in our state.

If passed, this bill would open a dangerous loophole in our gun safety laws by eliminating the unlicensed sale background check requirement.

This would make it easy for felons, domestic abusers, and people with dangerous histories to buy handguns from gun shows or people offering firearms for sale online.

Please vote in the interest of your constituents' safety by voting no on HB 398.
