We have made incredible progress in recent years, and can’t afford to lose momentum now. At least 35,900 people have been killed by guns already in 2023 – which is an average of almost 118 deaths each day.
We are not powerless in the face of this epidemic. We have big plans this year to finally pass legislation to require a permit to purchase firearms ensuring that background checks happen before someone purchases a firearm, rather than at the point of sale.
This life-saving policy has been proven to reduce firearm-related deaths, curb the trafficking of guns to criminals shortly after retail sale, and lower the rate of firearms being traced to criminals in other states.
We know this commonsense policy and the rest of our legislative agenda will save lives. But we won’t be able to get this done without your support.
