Don't let abusers and stalkers get guns
Right now, it’s illegal for some convicted abusers to own guns, but not all. Loopholes allow stalkers, abusive ex-dating partners and people with emergency restraining orders to legally buy and own guns – endangering the lives of their victims. We need to get guns out of the hands of these dangerous criminals. It’s time to close the loopholes!
Why is this important?
At Emerge America, we’re fighting to elect more Democratic women to stand up for the change we need to move America forward.
Our board member and Moms Demand Action founder, Shannon Watts, knows exactly why we need more women in office:
“It’s proven that women are more likely than men to support the kinds of legislation that Moms Demand Action promotes, such as stricter laws governing gun sales.”
Where should we start?
We start by closing the loopholes that allow stalkers, abusive ex-dating partners and people with emergency restraining orders to legally buy and own guns.
It’s common sense.
