This issue is deeply personal to me. I firmly believe that no one should be able to purchase a gun without undergoing a background check. It's not just about preventing crime, it's about ensuring the safety of our communities and families. According to the Giffords Law Center, states that require background checks for all handgun sales see 35% fewer gun deaths per capita than states without this requirement (Giffords Law Center). Yet, there are still loopholes in federal law allowing unlicensed sellers to sell guns without conducting any background check whatsoever. We need comprehensive legislation that mandates background checks on all gun purchases nationwide, regardless of whether the seller is licensed or not. This isn't an infringement on rights; it's a necessary measure for public safety. Please sign this petition and join us in calling for mandatory background checks on all gun purchases across the United States.
