Everytown Buys Ads to Push for Universal Background Checks :: 06/04/2021

“These ads are a reminder that background checks aren’t a partisan issue, and that the vast majority of Americans support common sense steps to keep guns away from dangerous people,” John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, said in a statement. “Whether you’re talking to Republicans, Democrats, gun owners, or law enforcement, there is bipartisan support for strengthening background checks, and we’ll keep reminding Congress of that fact until we see action.”

— According to The Hill, Everytown for Gun Safety is spending $500,000 (of the approximately $24MM it spends each year) on TV ads in AK, NC, OH, and TX featuring law enforcement and “gun owners” shilling for universal background checks. Apparently this is an attempt to gain Republican support for these sorts of laws.
