Over the past few years, more than 20 states have passed new laws restricting how people can buy and carry guns in response to our nation's epidemic of gun violence.
But these common-sense reforms are undermined by gun trafficking made possible by looser gun laws in neighboring states -- about 50,000 guns are diverted to criminals across state lines every year, and it's likely that many more go undetected.
That's why Sean helped introduce the Gun Trafficker Detection Act, which would require gun owners to report a lost or stolen gun within 48 hours.
This legislation will help law enforcement identify and prosecute traffickers, who often claim their gun was lost or stolen when it turns up at a crime scene in another state -- and hold them liable for any damage done by their guns!
"I'm tired of hearing lawmakers offer their "thoughts and prayers" after every new report of a tragic mass shooting. It's time to offer Americans smart, effective gun laws that will save lives." - Sean Casten
