Tell your U.S. senators to support S. 591 and close the Charleston loophole
The Charleston loophole is a gap in federal law that allows gun sales to proceed without a completed background check if three business days have passed.

We need you to visit the Regulations.gov comment page and let ATF know that it's critical to put this rule in place—and finally regulate these dangerous firearms.
