Jack, President Biden is planning a rule to broaden background checks on firearm purchases at gun shows and online sales.

Sign the petition: Close the gun show loophole and ban assault weapons.

SIGN THE PETITION
This initiative will regulate tens of thousands of annual gun sales by requiring licensees for sellers and enforcing universal background checks, affecting over 20,000 unlicensed dealers.

However, these measures are not enough. The frequent mass shootings, like those in Uvalde and Parkland, demonstrates how easily accessible miliatary-style assault weapons worsen these tragedies. Such weapons, often obtained through unregulated channels, significantly increase the devastation, deeply impacting communities nationwide.

Despite broad public support for more rigorous background checks and an assault weapons ban, there remains opposition fueled by misconceptions regarding gun rights. However, public safety must be our paramount concern, and these proposed reforms honor this priority by ensuring responsible gun ownership and preventing firearms from falling into the wrong hands.

Sign the petition to President Biden: Close the gun show loophole and ban assault weapons to ensure a safer future for all.

SIGN THE PETITION
Thank you for fighting with us,
