Support legislation for universal background checks on gun sales

To: Rep. Morelle, Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer, Pres. Biden

From: A constituent in Penfield, NY

September 17

Every child deserves to grow up safe and free from the threat of gun violence. That's why universal background checks for all gun purchases are so crucial. As the American Academy of Pediatrics highlights, in states that require background checks for private handgun sales, there are 48% fewer firearm suicides. Furthermore, 88% of Americans, including 85% of gun owners, favor universal background checks. This common-sense measure has been shown to save lives. I urge you to support legislation mandating universal background checks for all firearm sales, helping to keep our communities and children safe from preventable gun violence and death. It's time to prioritize the wellbeing of our society over the unrestricted sale of deadly weapons.
