NW Washington demands new gun limits
We, the voters of District 6 in Washington state, strongly urge you take action to curb the gun violence plaguing this nation. Support President Obama's proposal for new gun regulations that would 1) ban new sales of military-grade assault weapons, 2) cap magazine clip capacity at 10 bullets, and 3) make background checks universal to close gun show and private sale loopholes.
Why is this important?
Our representatives in Washington DC are facing a critical decision right now -- will they stand up to powerful gun lobbyists and support new federal limits on gun and ammunition sales? Or will they accept the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary as the status quo? US Representative Derek Kilmer, who represents Kitsap County, Tacoma, and the Olympic Peninsula, hasn’t made himself clear on this question. Please sign this petition urging him, as well as our senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, to support President Obama's proposals for curbing the intolerable level of gun violence in our nation.
