John—

Today the House of Representatives took a courageous step toward ending our country’s gun violence epidemic by passing HR 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act.

I’m proud of my former colleagues and the new gun safety champions in the House who said “enough” to inaction. HR 8 stands as a symbol of all that our nation has lost to gun violence and all we stand to gain by ending it.

We can be a safer, healthier, more just nation. We can protect our children not only in the classroom but also on the streets to and from school and raise a generation free from the fear of gun violence.

It’s time to choose hope and courage over despair and fear and finally enact universal background checks.

Tell your senators to pass this critical legislation by texting UNIVERSAL to 34131.

Gratefully,
Gabby Giffords
