TheU.S. Senate is currently scheduled to vote on several anti-gun bills during theweek of April 8. One, the so-called "universal backgroundcheck" bill being pushed by Senator Chuck Schumer, would criminalize theprivate transfer of firearms between law-abiding citizens. Thislegislation would make it illegal for a family member to transfer a firearm toanother family member without the federal government’s approval. According to a recent Department of Justice memo, the effectiveness of auniversal background check system "depends on gun registration" --which is illegal under federal law. In addition, no background check systemwill ever be truly "universal", as criminals do not submit tobackground checks.
Please contact your Senators Donnelly and Coats andencourage them to oppose this anti-freedom legislation. Ask them to supportreal solutions that will reduce violent crime and keep our children safe --fixing our broken mental health system; securing our schools; and prosecutingviolent criminals.
Again, please email, tweet, facebook, write, and callyour Senators Donnelly and Coats today, and ask them to OPPOSE Sen. Schumer'sso-called “universal background check” legislation, along with every otheranti-gun proposal -- including Sen. Feinstein's proposed ban on commonly ownedfirearms and magazines. The future of our Second Amendment rights are at stake.
