Tired of Gun Violence? Demand Gun Manufacturers Take Action to Reduce Gun Violence!

Right now, the manufacturers of firearms could begin implementing changes that would reduce the number of violent and accidental deaths and injuries associated with gun ownership and gun use in America. None of these changes would in any way jeopardize the rights of law-abiding Americans to own and use firearms. Rather, they would help secure and clarify legitimate gun-ownership rights, and would modernize and stabilize the U.S. gun industry.

Demand Gun Manufacturers Take Action Now By:

1) Making guns safer through the use of smart-gun technology and other safety technologies.

2) Distributing guns responsibly by ensuring that each dealer their company uses as a sales outlet is committed to keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.

Dear Gun Manufacturers,

It is time that you provided leadership to curb gun-related deaths in America.

There are two things your company can do, on its own volition, to make America safer.

1) You can make guns safer through the use of smart-gun technology and other safety technologies.

2) You can distribute guns responsibly by ensuring that each dealer your company uses as a sales outlet is committed to keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.

Public-sector leaders across America -- mayors, police chiefs, sheriffs, county executives, attorneys general, governors and others -- have asked for your leadership in these areas by signing on to Metro IAF's Do Not Stand Idly By Campaign and Request for Information (RFI). As taxpayers, these officials make purchases of firearms on our behalf. They make these purchases for one reason only: to protect public safety.

We ask that you respond to these reasonable requests from your public-sector customers and from citizens, who are asking you to be allies in protecting public safety. Your leadership can save many lives. Learn more at http://donotstandidlyby.org/

Sincerely,
