David,
We have a gun violence epidemic in this country, and our lawmakers must do everything in their power to address it.
Serve America is proud to support comprehensive gun safety reform, including expanded background checks like those enumerated in H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, which was passed by a bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives earlier this month.
Eighteen incumbents endorsed by Serve America joined in supporting H.R. 8 when it came to the floor. Many of those incumbents used and trained with firearms while serving in the military and intelligence communities, and every single one of them has a personal stake in putting an end to the gun violence plaguing every American community. Serve America is particularly proud of the leadership demonstrated by Congressman Joe Neguse, whose community of Boulder, Colorado was the latest stricken by senseless gun violence.
For those of us fortunate to have survived the past year, one of the most harrowing in living memory, we cannot afford for a return to so-called ‘normalcy’ to mean a return to the extraordinary levels of gun violence unique to the American experience.
We know expanded background checks, and other common-sense reforms like an assault weapons ban, are the only way to end the rampant gun violence terrorizing our nation. The House has done its part, the Senate must now do their duty and ensure that common-sense gun safety reforms become the law of the land.
Enough is enough. The overwhelming majority of Americans support basic, common-sense gun safety measures. Despite the political division in this country, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are mostly united on this issue. We are demanding change.
Thank you for taking the time to make your voice heard today.
-Serve America
