Today's email from Bradys:
We are going to close the gun show loophole.
Yesterday — thanks to the many calls from you and other Brady members and supporters — Senator Frank Lautenberg introduced a bill to close the gun show loophole.
Right now, people can buy as many guns as they want from unlicensed dealers at gun shows without a Brady background check. No questions asked.
That's how the Columbine killers got three of the four weapons used 10 years ago this month.
Please contribute now to the Brady Campaign to help us close the gun show loophole.
The momentum is building. Today, more Senators signed on. We can get this bill passed. We can make this happen — with your support.
Since the elections, we've been pressing the new Congress to make Brady background checks on all gun sales a priority, starting with the gun show loophole.
We've bird-dogged the media to get wide coverage in support of commonsense gun laws. Brady activists and staff have been on ABC News "20/20", CNN, NPR, Fox News, and local TV across the country.
We've been quoted in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor, to name just a few, and we've had editorials in the Tennessean, Duluth News Tribune, Raleigh News Observer, US News, along with many more.
It's all to build support for closing the gun show loophole. Yes, we can get this ridiculous loophole closed. But I need your help.
Click here to donate to the Brady Campaign to get this done.
We will continue our media push — providing facts to reporters about our weak guns laws, pitching stories to news programs, and posting our hard-hitting blogs and Internet ads.
And we will lobby Congress to get more co-sponsors. It won't happen overnight. Jim and I — and you — kept up the fight for the Brady bill for years before we got it passed.
We can do this. We can close the gun show loophole. Please support the Brady Campaign today.
Sincerely,
Sarah Brady, Chair
