John—
Thanks to growing pressure from gun sense supporters across the country,
Senators on both sides of the aisle have begun voicing their support for
background checks on all gun sales and Red Flag legislation, including
prominent Republicans. We need to keep the momentum going to make sure
Senate Majority Leader McConnell and all senators vote to pass these
proven solutions to gun violence as soon as possible.

John—
We just heard President Donald Trump say he would take action after the
shootings in El Paso and Dayton to stamp out hate. Let's be clear on a few
things:
This is not about mental health. This is not about video games. These are
NRA talking points.
This is about easy access to guns.
We went down this road with the president after the shooting in Parkland.
If he really wants "bipartisan and effective" solutions to end gun
violence, he should call Senate Majority Leader McConnell today and tell
him to pass background checks on all gun sales and strong Red Flag
legislation.

90 percent of Americans want gun safety laws, and the president has had
two and a half years to do it. The Senate has had the chance to act for
over 200 days — that's how long ago the House passed common-sense gun
safety legislation.
President Trump has promised to act, but action without critical
legislation to address easy access to guns will do nothing to address gun
violence. He has vowed to pass meaningful gun legislation in the past, and
yet he has failed to do so. He has vowed to address hate and violence, and
yet has used racist and anti-immigrant rhetoric while hate-fueled violence
continues. He has opted to blame violent video games and mental health
issues — talking points straight from the NRA — rather than focusing on
solutions that are proven to work.
We need to demand action and hold President Trump accountable. [ [link removed] ]Tell
Sen. McConnell and your Senators to pass background checks on all gun
sales, and a strong Red Flag law that will help prevent gun violence
tragedies.
No more politics. No more tweets. It's time for action. We need lifesaving
gun laws now.
Thank you for taking action.
John Feinblatt
President
