In most states, anyone can walk into a gun show and buy guns — like AK-47s — from unlicensed sellers without a Brady criminal background check. That makes no sense.
Representatives Mike Castle (R-DE) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) recently introduced a bill, H.R. 2324, to close the gun show loophole. Now they need your help to add cosponsors to the bill.
Click here to e-mail Rep. Carnahan and ask them to cosponsor H.R.2324.
Gun shows provide the venue, advertising, and audience for many unregulated gun sellers. Therefore, closing the loophole that allows them to sell guns without Brady background checks makes sense for the safety of our families and communities.
Know that the gun lobby will be fighting us every step of the way with its mantra "any gun, anywhere, for anybody." So we can't do this without you.
Your Representative needs to hear from you today. And you can help even more — please click here to forward this e-mail to your friends. Everyone's help is needed to make our communities safer.
Thank you for all your ongoing support!
