Hello,
The gun violence epidemic in our country isn’t slowing down.
But Senate Republicans are still blocking the common-sense gun safety reforms that Peter helped pass through the House—from enacting universal background checks to closing the Charleston loophole.
So we need to keep working to defeat the obstructionist Republicans at the ballot box—and we need to keep raising our voices to demand action.
For years, Peter has been a leading advocate for gun reform. He cosponsored the Bipartisan Background Checks Act to close gun sale loopholes and require background checks on all commercial gun sales, cosponsored the Assault Weapons Ban Act to prohibit the sale of military-style weapons, and cosponsored the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, a “red flag” bill, to allow relatives and law enforcement to temporarily remove firearms from an individual in crisis.
On issue after issue, Peter has always been able to reach across the aisle to deliver much-needed results for Vermont. And once elected Vermont’s next senator, he will continue working to cut through the partisan gridlock and deliver common-sense gun safety reforms.
We have lost too many Vermonters—and too many Americans—to gun violence. Add your name if you’re with Peter in the fight for common-sense gun reform. Let’s inspire his Senate colleagues to join us.
Thank you,
Welch for Vermont
