Jack, sign the petition: Close the gun show loophole and ban assault weapons.

Sign the petition


Access to assault weapons and the lack of necessary checks have ruined too many families and communities. That's why the Biden administration has proposed a groundbreaking rule that promises to enhance the safety of our communities by requiring that anyone who sells guns for profit must have a license and that buyers be subject to a background check. However, to truly improve our safety, this initiative must be coupled with an unequivocal ban on assault weapons.

Assault weapons, designed for one purpose and one purpose only – to kill as many people as quickly as possible – have no place in our streets or our schools. These military-grade firearms have been the weapon of choice in far too many mass shootings, and the "gun show loophole" has allowed countless firearms to be sold without adequate checks.

Sign the petition to Congress: If we strengthen gun laws, we can save lives.

Our primary concern must be public safety. Despite widespread public support for stricter background checks and an assault weapons ban, opposition persists, largely driven by misconceptions about gun rights. These proposed reforms prioritize responsible gun ownership.

Closing the gun show loophole and banning assault weapons means fewer guns in the wrong hands.

Add your name: Don’t let another unchecked gun sale happen.
