THREAD: Today we’re taking action for common sense gun control, better background checks, and safer communities – while protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
The fact is, gun violence has risen in this country, and is a clear threat to public safety. We’re acting on our campaign commitment to crack down on gangs & illegal handguns, and put tighter controls on assault weapons.
We’re also introducing stronger and more rigorous background checks on gun sales. And if you want to buy a gun, by law you’ll have to show a license at the point of purchase. Right now that’s not a requirement.
The rules for taking handguns to gun shows, across the border or to unusual places will get tougher too. But the rules for transporting long guns will not change.
And make no mistake: There will not be another long-gun registry, not now or ever, under this government.
The measures we announced today will help keep assault weapons and illegal handguns off our streets – making all of us safer. Get the details here: bit.ly/2psZQ7O
