The American people strongly support passing gun-safety legislation to save the lives of children in our schools, moviegoers in our theaters, and congregants in our churches. To start curbing gun violence, we must first close the loopholes allowing dangerous individuals to buy deadly weapons without passing background checks. We must stop criminals from using untraceable firearms to avoid responsibility by outlawing the manufacture and distribution of so-called ghost guns which cannot be tracked. To protect victims of domestic abuse and other violent crimes, we should be prohibiting their assailants from purchasing or possessing firearms. By doing so, we can significantly reduce the number of women and intimate partners being victimized by gun violence. We must go farther, however, to save lives by banning semi-automatic assault rifles, stopping weapons manufacturers from preying on our young people, and ensuring that firearms are out of the reach of our children.
