Pass The Charlie Kirk Gun Safety Act

We, the undersigned, urge our elected officials to enact a Charlie Kirk Gun Safety Act: comprehensive, evidence‑based legislation that reduces gun violence while preserving lawful, responsible gun ownership. To honor Charlie’s memory, the following commonsense measures have broad public support and proven effectiveness: Universal Background Checks – Require a thorough background check for every firearm purchase or transfer, including private sales and transactions at gun shows. Red Flag (Extreme Risk Protection Order) Laws – Enable family members, law enforcement, and mental‑health professionals to petition a court for temporary removal of firearms from individuals who pose an imminent danger to themselves or others. Safe‑Storage Requirements – Mandate that all firearms be stored securely—locked away and unloaded—when not in immediate use, especially in homes with minors. Ban on Assault‑Style Weapons and High‑Capacity Magazines – Prohibit the sale and possession of semi‑automatic rifles and magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds, which are frequently used in mass shootings. Mandatory Firearm Safety Training – Require completion of a certified safety course before purchasing a firearm, covering safe handling, storage, and legal responsibilities. Improved Mental‑Health Services – Increase funding for accessible, community‑based mental‑health care to address the root causes of many violent incidents. Enhanced Reporting and Data Collection – Strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and ensure timely reporting of all relevant records. Recent polls show that over 80 % of Americans favor universal background checks and red‑flag laws. States with these policies experience fewer gun deaths, lower rates of suicide by firearm, and reduced incidences of mass shootings. These measures do not infringe upon the constitutional right to bear arms; they simply ensure that firearms are kept out of the hands of those who pose a clear risk. We respectfully request that you: Introduce or co‑sponsor legislation incorporating the measures listed above. Vote in favor of any bill that advances these common‑sense reforms. Publicly endorse a commitment to reducing gun violence while safeguarding lawful gun owners. By acting now, you will demonstrate leadership, protect public safety, and honor the memory of Charlie Kirk.
