Dear John,

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee advanced three pieces of
lifesaving gun violence prevention legislation:

* The Disarm Hate Act, which would prohibit people convicted of
threatening or violent hate crimes from buying or possessing guns.
* New prohibitions on high-capacity magazines, like the ones used by the
shooter in Dayton.
* A strong Red Flag law, which strengthens and expands the tools family
members or law enforcement can use to intervene and temporarily
suspend someone's access to guns if a judge finds there is evidence
that person poses a serious threat to themselves or others.

Yesterday's Committee vote follows the critical steps the House already
took to prevent gun violence in this country earlier this year. It passed
the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, addressed the Charleston
Loophole, took action to close the deadly "boyfriend loophole," and
allocated funding for gun violence research. The contrast between the
House's lifesaving action and the Senate's inaction could not be more
clear.

As the House continues to move important gun safety legislation forward,
the Senate STILL has not taken a single action to prevent gun violence in
America. We need to keep up the pressure and urge the Senate to pass
stronger gun laws, starting with background checks on all gun sales and a
strong Red Flag law. [ [link removed] ]Send a message to your U.S. Senators and demand
action to address gun violence in our country.

Thanks for all you do,
