Via Mayors Against Illegal Guns: Send a powerful message to President Obama and Congress to Fix Gun Checks.

The push to fix gun checks is quickly gaining momentum. More than 200,000 Americans have joined our call to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.

And now Newsweek reports that “in the next two weeks, the White House will unveil a new gun-control effort in which it will urge Congress to strengthen current laws."¹

President Obama has a crucial opportunity to bring the nation together and call for common sense steps to prevent senseless shootings.

We need supporters like you to make sure the President steps up to take on this challenge. Please sign the petition and let President Obama know that it’s time to fix America’s broken background check system and prevent more senseless shootings.

Send a powerful message to President Obama and Congress to Fix Gun Checks.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns deals with the impact of gun crime every day. So as the Obama Administration begins crafting a proposal to close the gaps in our gun laws, we have two recommendations to stop dangerous people from getting their hands on guns:

1. Get all the names of people who should be prohibited from buying guns into the background check system.

2. Require a background check for every gun sale in America.

It's hard to believe, but even in the wake of a mass gun murder that shocked our nation, there are those who still oppose fixing this broken system. That’s why we’re counting on supporters like you to raise your voice and strengthen our call for action.

Add your name to Fix Gun Checks today:
