Team – 

I was honored to join President Biden at the White House last week as he unveiled his plan to help fight the epidemic of gun violence.

He announced six executive actions to save lives, including a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of hard-to-track firearms without a serial number, known as “ghost guns.”

The Biden-Harris administration will also publish model “red flag” legislation for states, invest in evidence-based community violence interventions, and issue an annual report on firearms trafficking.

These actions are a long time coming and top-of-mind for so many Americans in the wake of recent deadly shootings in Boulder and Atlanta. Will you add your name here and thank the Biden-Harris administration for taking action on gun violence?

In his remarks, President Biden urged Congress to take the necessary steps to help stop gun violence. I’m proud that the House passed H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, and H.R. 1446, the Enhanced Background Checks Act – but there is so much more urgent work to do, including ensuring the Senate passes these background checks bills.

The President also called out my Assault Weapons Ban as a key piece of legislation he wants Congress to move on. In 1993, then-Senator Biden played a key role in the passage of the landmark Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and helped authorize a 10-year ban on assault weapons a year later.

It’s shameful that we ever let an assault weapons ban expire in the first place! I’m proud to lead the effort to get it reinstated, and I’m ready to get to work with my Democratic colleagues to build on the progress we were able to make with these actions.

Add your name here if you’re with me and the Biden-Harris administration. Together, we can save lives.

Thank you,

– David
