A victory for sane, reasonable gun control that will benefit the people of the U.S. and Mexico. Sad that the right-wing extremist leadership of the nra will challenge this in court. WELL DONE PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

President Obama listened to us and not the NRA! Late Monday evening, the Obama Administration announced that it would require gun dealers in states bordering Mexico to report to law enforcement multiple sales of certain semi-automatic rifles. We applaud this move by the President which gives federal law enforcement an important new tool to fight gun trafficking into Mexico. Thank you to everyone who helped the Brady Campaign push this issue with the Obama Administration. We have asked you to sign petitions, support us financially and, most recently, to send in supportive comments on this issue to the Administration. The good news is as of the latest published numbers, there were more comments supporting the rule than opposing it. But the NRA has already pledged to file a lawsuit against the new rule and its lobbyists are pressuring Congress to repeal it. We will work with the Administration to do everything we can to protect this important ruling from NRA attacks. With your help, we have had an important victory with this new initiative but more needs to be done. We must continue our fight for: a strong and effective ban on the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips; extending Brady background checks to all gun sales, including all sales at gun shows; greater legal authority for federal law enforcement to crack down on corrupt dealers. Thank you for being our partners in this lifesaving work. Sincerely, Dennis Henigan, Acting President Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence President Obama's announcement is an important step towards a safer America. But more is yet to be done.
