BREAK THE TRIANGLE OF DEATH
Give a Tax-Deductible Gift Today

Dear StoptheNRA Member,

Donate a tax-deductible gift of $25 or more today to help break the Triangle of Death.

It's a vicious triangle of death.

The NRA buys off Members of Congress. Congress in turn passes laws that protect corrupt gun dealers.

Those gun dealers are allowed to flood our communities with illegal guns without scrutiny or fear of repercussion.

Then the gun dealers donate to the NRA … to buy off Congress.

The tragic results: fellow citizens and police officers are dying every day from illegal guns.

We must break this triangle of death.

With your help, Congress is feeling the heat of its complicity in this cycle. And we've been shining the spotlight on the NRA's extremism. Now we are tackling the third arm of this monster: the complacent gun industry and the corrupt gun dealers who profit from selling guns to criminals.

Gun dealers like Trader Sports, a notorious San Leandro, California gun dealer that in 2005 sold 447 guns traced to crime, making it the second largest supplier of crime guns of any retailer in America. Trader Sports is so bad that it had trace requests amounting to approximately 12% of its sales figures from 2003-2005 — meaning an average of one of every eight guns sold by Trader Sports was recovered in crime.

Last week, the Brady Center's new project, Gun Industry Watch, released a report highlighting these decades of illegal violations by Trader Sports. The report includes detailed information on Trader Sports' record as one of the "worst of the worst" dealers in the nation, with its guns being traced to crimes an average of more than once every day of the year.

And last week, Trader Sports had its license to sell firearms revoked.

Gun Industry Watch will continue to work to expose the complicity of the gun industry in supplying the illegal market and to investigate particular companies and practices that pose special threats to public safety.

And you can be in on the ground floor as we get this already successful program fully revved up:

Donate a tax-deductible gift of $25 or more to help break the Triangle of Death.
