Community Gun Laws Under Siege, Help Us Fight Back

Brady Campaign [logo] Brady Center

Dear Todd,

We're heading into another court battle — and it's against the NRA.

Whenever a community calls on us for help, I see an opportunity to help save lives — and have a victory for common sense gun laws.

That's why when the City of Pittsburgh called on the Brady Center to help defend its gun law against the NRA, we had to say, "Yes, we will help." The law helps to stop illegal gun trafficking.

Help the Brady Center fight the gun lobby in court.

Ever since the Second Amendment decision last summer, the gun lobby and the NRA have waged a reckless campaign to attack local gun laws . . . to push more guns, in more places, like national parks, airports, and college campuses.

Our legal team is fighting the gun lobby on all fronts. And thanks to your past support, we've won. Just last month, a judge agreed with us in a case — brought by the gun lobby — to uphold Alameda County, California's ordinance banning gun sales and possession on public property.

The NRA has threatened other cities in Pennsylvania, and state and local gun laws in California, New Jersey and elsewhere are under attack. And once again, Dick Heller, the plaintiff in the Heller case, is suing the District of Columbia over its registration and other strong gun laws. In all these cases Brady lawyers are assisting with our legal expertise — pro bono.

I hope you will support our fight against new challenges with a tax-deductible contribution as soon as possible. We will prevail — wherever the next battlefield might be.

Thanks to your support, the Brady Center will be ready to defend gun laws that protect you, your family — and your community.

Sincerely,

P.S. Please let your friends and family know about the gun lobby's campaign against community gun laws, and ask them to help.
