Alliance for Gun Responsibility – August 19, 2026

We emailed on Monday that a judge in Texas struck down rules on the sale of silencers and easily-concealed weapons.

Today, a different judge in the same district court overturned federal regulations on dangerous ghost guns that were put in place during the Biden administration.

We’re reminded again of how crucial our state-based work is – since Washington has passed our own rules against ghost guns, we’re protected.

The increasing threat from and manipulation of our justice system to serve the bottom line of the gun lobby underscores the urgency for our state-based gun violence prevention work across the country. Will you contribute to continue our life-saving work?

Ghost guns are unserialized and untraceable firearms that are built from individual parts or kits. That means that dangerous people who would be denied by a background check, like domestic abusers, can buy or even print components and assemble a gun.

This ruling makes communities without state laws against ghost guns less safe, and the jobs of law enforcement exponentially more difficult.

And this is precisely why our work matters. We will save the most lives the quickest by passing commonsense laws state-by-state.

Would you make a contribution right now so we can double down on our strategy of state-based change with our partner organizations?

Thank you for helping to save lives,
Alliance for Gun Responsibility
