Sign the petition: Tell Congress to take action vs assault weapons

Move On.org
June 24, 2016

Speaker Ryan ignored our pleas and the pleas of our #gunsafety champions and adjourned the U.S. House.
But we will continue the fight on their return to Washington, D.C., and deliver your message after the Fourth of July weekend.
So please continue to sign on.

PETITION:
To be delivered to Speaker Ryan and the House of Representatives

"We Call on You to Take Action Against Gun Violence and Schedule Votes on the Following Measures:
-- Expand background checks on gun sales and strengthen the background check system.
-- Give the Department of Justice an avenue to block the sale of guns to suspected
terrorists with a robust due process and appeals system in place
-- Close the Charleston loophole that allowed the Charleston shooter to purchase his
weapons because his background check hadn't been completed within three days,
weapons he then used to kill nine people in their place of worship
-- Ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines."
