Robert,

Gun violence is a substantial challenge that impacts families throughout our nation and in Pennsylvania. Every single day vulnerable children become the victims of gun violence. It's unacceptable. We know that we can't eliminate every act of gun violence, but there are commonsense steps that we can take to measurably reduce the likelihood of instances of gun violence. 

It's been 41 months since the Sandy Hook shooting. The horror of Sandy Hook changed the way I view our nation's policies on guns. I believe we need to take five basic steps: ban military-style weapons, limit the sizes of clips and magazines to reduce the ability of those who would commit gun violence to fire large numbers of bullets in rapid succession, require background checks for gun purchases, prevent those on the terror watch list from purchasing firearms and invest in quality mental health treatment for those who need it. 

I keep a newspaper page with pictures of the Sandy Hook children on my desk in my Senate office. It’s a daily reminder of what our nation must do not only to honor their young lives, but also to ensure we protect children from such horrific acts of gun violence. 

How many school shootings will it take until Congress realizes enough is enough?

I’m calling on Congress to take immediate action to pass commonsense gun safety measures – because not one more day should go by with our children and communities at risk of gun violence. And I need you standing with me:

As a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, I believe we can preserve our right to own guns for self-protection, hunting and sport while also taking steps to significantly increase safety in communities in Pennsylvania and around the nation.

It's wrong for Congress to stand on the sidelines as gun violence continues to take the lives of children and families in our communities. Will you join me by urging Congress to take action on these measures?

Add your name to tell Congress: Take action to reduce gun violence and keep our families safe.

Thank you,

Bob
