To Members of Congress:
Recent polls show that some 97% of Americans support requiring background checks for all gun buyers. Meanwhile, the CDC recently reported that gun deaths in America are at a record high. This is an emergency, and there's no time to waste. Pass universal background checks (H.B. 8) now!
But universal background checks is just the first slice of the pie. Pass H.B. 8 immediately and then give us the whole pie: comprehensive gun policy reform, including banning military-style assault rifles!
One in five people has experienced or knows someone who has experienced gun violence. We need real stories to fuel the momentum for policy reform. We need every member of Congress to pay serious attention to gun safety and get behind comprehensive reform!
If you have a personal gun safety story, please tell it in the message box above.
