We, the undersigned, urge you to pass new legislation to
ban assault weapons, high capacity magazines, end
the gun show loophole; track large transactions for explosives, ammunition, or fireams; improve background checks, and require safety training for ownership of firearms.
Why is this important?
The US is exceptional in gun violence.
Considering Aurora, Virginia Tech, Columbine, Tuscon (Gabby Giffords), and widespread mayhem on
American streets, politicians should pass sensible gun control laws.
* Ban high-capacity magazines.
* Ban assault weapons.
* End the gun show loophole.
* Track large transactions involving explosives, ammunition, or firearms.
* mandate safety training for firearm ownership.
* Improve background checks to keep disturbed individuals from acquiring or possessing such weapons.
