John,
Members of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force sent a letter to Speaker McCarthy yesterday, pleading to take up votes on gun violence prevention legislation ‘as soon as possible.'
Despite the majority of Americans supporting common sense solutions – like an assault weapons ban and expanded Brady background checks, our lawmakers have failed to pass gun violence prevention legislation and the American people are paying the price.
Our nation’s need for action is growing increasingly desperate: There have been over 420 mass shootings already this year, putting our country on track for its deadliest year. Gun violence is the number one cause of death for our kids. Each day that passes, 117 people are shot and killed.
