We agree with President Biden's remarks tonight — enough is enough. We urge Congress to pass commonsense gun reform and meet this critical moment with action.
We need to:
Ban assault weapons — and if we can’t, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
Ban high-capacity magazines.
Strengthen background checks.
Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws.
Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.
