John — Last week, Eric and his colleagues in the House passed H.R. 8 to require universal background checks and H.R. 1446 to close the “Charleston Loophole.” These two bills are important first steps in the fight against gun violence.
We have the chance to turn the tide against so much senseless gun violence in our country. Now that the House has passed these bills, they’re off to the Senate.
Now, we need to show broad public support for these initiatives in a deadlocked Senate. Can we count on you to sign the petition to demand the Senate pass these important bills?
This victory is huge! Over the past couple of years, Eric has worked with gun safety advocates to fight hard for legislation like this. Now, we have the chance to actually enact meaningful legislation.
Ending the Charleston Loophole, which has allowed people who would otherwise not be eligible for gun purchases to buy guns, and requiring universal background checks are important first steps in the fight against gun violence that has plagued our country.
We are on the cusp of a huge victory for gun reform in America and Eric needs your help. Will you add your name to demand that the Senate pass bipartisan gun reform legislation?
Thank you for signing!
