North Carolina lawmakers quickly advanced a dangerous gun bill that would repeal background checks on all unlicensed handgun sales—despite opposition from constituents, law enforcement, and community leaders.
This bill would open up a massive and dangerous loophole in our state. Eliminating the pistol purchase permit would eliminate the unlicensed sale background check requirement.
Send the following message to North Carolina lawmakers urging them to support a veto of reckless gun bill SB 41 >>
Dear Lawmaker,
As a North Carolina resident, I urge you to support a veto of reckless legislation like SB 41.
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 with no background check and no questions asked.
The overwhelming majority of North Carolinians value our responsible gun ownership culture and support background checks when purchasing a firearm.
Please focus on strengthening our gun safety laws and support the veto of SB 41.
