dustin hoffman's open letter to the NRA

September 30, 2024

Dear Mr. Robinson,

I recently learned that your organization's website includes a list of "Anti-Gun Individuals & Celebrities" who have spoken out for anti-gun legislation and provided "a voice for anti-gun organizations."

As a supporter of comprehensive gun safety measures, I was deeply disappointed when I discovered that my name was not on this list.

I was particularly surprised by the omission given my opposition to the loophole that makes it legal for 18- to 20-year-olds to buy handguns at gun shows and unlicensed sellers and my firm belief that child safety locks be provided with every handgun sold.

Now as the Federal Assault Weapons Ban nears expiration and a bill granting sweeping immunity to gun manufacturers approaches the Senate floor, I am requesting that you or the appropriate person on your staff add my name to the list as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for correcting this oversight.

Sincerely,
Dustin Hoffman
