Here's six things Congress can do to prevent gun violence in 2021.

John–

It's been nearly 25 years since Congress last passed a significant federal gun safety law. In 2019, the House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation like the bill to require background checks on all gun sales. But the NRA's allies in the Senate refused to prioritize the safety of the American public. Now, more than 100 people are killed from guns and over 230 more are shot and wounded every single day.

In 2021, Congress must address the gun violence crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic and surging gun sales have weakened the country's background check system, making the need for action more urgent than ever.

Read and share our new memo today to learn what the 117th Congress can and must do to prevent gun violence and fix the background check system.

Last month, we elected the strongest gun safety ticket ever to the White House. It's never been more important to act on gun safety than it is now, and we know the Biden-Harris administration must use executive power to make that change happen.

But John, Congress needs to act if we're going to fully address the gun violence crisis that has been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Read and share our new memo today to learn what Congress can do to fight the gun violence crisis in 2021.

With Congress's support, the Biden-Harris administration can make 2021 a breakthrough year for gun safety.
