Democrats,
In the last year, we’ve had more than 650 mass shootings and over 40,000 deaths, some even occurring in our home here in New Mexico.
The Biden-Harris Administration is already taking real, tangible steps to reduce gun violence, including running enhanced background checks, increasing mental health support funding, making schools safer, and expanding community violence interventions. Guns are the number one killer of children and teens in America, and Republicans would keep us on a dangerous trajectory leading to even more gun violence and senseless death.
Despite the nationwide epidemic of gun violence, Republicans continue to refuse to take this issue seriously. The only way we will be able to take serious action to curb gun violence is to make sure Democrats are elected to office so policies like commonsense gun reform legislation can be passed and implemented at every level of government. Last month, President Joe Biden published an op-ed describing some of the action being taken as part of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Read the full op-ed here.
It’s up to Democrats to take on gun violence and enact policies that will make our neighborhoods and schools safer. Donate to DPNM today to make sure that we continue electing Democrats that will take real action against gun violence, rather than turn a blind eye to it like Republicans.
President Biden has continually urged Congress to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, require secure storage of firearms, require background checks for ALL gun sales, and make gun manufacturers liable for the harm their weapons cause. Help us elect Democrats who will support President Biden and continue the fight for commonsense gun reform that ensures our communities are safe in New Mexico and throughout the nation.
