Background checks save lives

John–

Right now, the U.S. Senate can pass the first major gun safety bill in 25
years. [ [link removed] ]Our lawmakers can help save lives by taking action on background
checks now.

Here are just some of the myths and facts about why background checks are
so important to ending gun violence in America:

Myth: Criminals will get their hands on guns anyway—they don't follow the
law or submit to background checks.
Fact: No law can stop all dangerous behavior, but background checks stem
the easy flow of guns to people with prohibited histories.

Myth: Background checks are already required on gun sales.
Fact: Background checks are required under federal law only when a
licensed dealer is the seller. The loophole is that no background check is
required for sales made by unlicensed sellers, regardless of where those
sales take place—at a gun show, in a parking lot, between strangers who
met online, or anywhere else.

By passing federal background check legislation, our U.S. senators can
close dangerous loopholes and help save lives.

The good news is that we can get this done. We elected gun sense champions
last year. Now, we can show the power of our movement and demand action
from our lawmakers. They must listen to the will of people in America who
support background checks—including the majority of Republicans and gun
owners.
