Gun violence impacts all of our communities. And no place is immune from its reach, including our homes, our streets, our schools, and even our places of worship. That is why we must take swift and decisive action to reduce the daily toll of gun violence that afflicts our nation.
#HR8 is sensible and effective legislation that requires background checks on all firearm sales. This simple change to close a gaping loophole in the law is one of the most effective steps we can take to address the scourge of gun violence in this country.
There is no reason to continue to make it easy for people who are legally prohibited from possessing firearms to acquire them. And the evidence clearly shows that background checks work and significantly curb gun violence.
Simply put, #HR8 will save lives. We must pass this legislation and support safer streets, safer schools, and safer communities. #EndGunViolence
