John–

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the gun violence crisis has not gone away.
Together, these two crises threaten to overwhelm America's public health
system.

[ [link removed] ]That's why we're calling on Congress to include gun safety provisions
and funding for vital services in COVID-19 aid.

[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION

Here's what we're up against:

* The surge in gun sales puts a massive strain on the background checks
system, creating a situation where loopholes could arm domestic
abusers and other individuals who shouldn't have guns.
* More guns in the homes of families sheltering in place has the
potential to lead to an increased risk of fatal domestic violence,
unintentional shootings of children, and firearm suicides.
* Daily gun violence continues in communities across the country, and
Black and brown communities are experiencing the disproportionate
impact of both the coronavirus and ongoing gun violence.
* The Trump administration continues to show its allegiance to the NRA's
fear-mongering and "guns everywhere" agenda.

John, as our lawmakers address COVID-19, we need to make sure
that Congress does not forget about the gun violence crisis.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to tell Congress: Secure our safety with gun safety
provisions and funding for vital services to keep our communities safe
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you for being a part of this movement and for fighting with us
during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Sarah Trumble
Senior Director of Federal Affairs
Everytown for Gun Safety
