Ghost guns have NO place in our communities

PLUS: Shorty Award winner and Giving Tuesday! {NAME}, this week marked five years since the Rancho Tehama shooting in Tehama, CA. The gunman used a homemade ‘ghost gun’ in his eight-hour shooting spree, firing at pedestrians, vehicles, and children in their school. In all, five people were killed and multiple others were injured, including children. Tragically, the community of Tehama, CA, is not alone. In recent years, ghost guns have proliferated across the country, becoming the weapon of choice for prohibited purchasers. You see, the Rancho Tehama gunman was barred from purchasing and possessing firearms. Yet he was able to obtain a ghost gun because, at the time, they were unregulated and required no Brady Background Check. But over the past year, we’ve taken decisive action to end the proliferation of ghost guns. Brady Legal is defending the victims and survivors of the Rancho Tehama shooting in our nation’s first civil lawsuit against the ghost gun industry. In California, Delaware, Illinois, and New York, we passed state laws to ban ghost guns, and we passed bans in four localities across California. And federally, we helped get the Biden-Harris administration’s rule to regulate ghost guns over the finish line. [We’re working tirelessly across Congress, the courts, and our communities to combat ghost guns and save lives — and we won’t give up. But we cannot do this vitally important work alone. We rely on support from dedicated grassroots supporters like you. Please, {NAME}, will you rush a gift to Brady right now? Your donation today will help us combat ghost guns, represent gun violence victims and survivors in court, and save lives.]( [SUPPORT BRADY ]( Thank you for your support, Kris Brown President, Brady   Help Us Spread the Word: Applications Are OPEN for the Team ENOUGH Lobbying Collective Team ENOUGH, our youth-led initiative, is accepting applications for their lobbying collectives in Florida and Virginia!
