Pass Reasonable Gun Reform Laws, Support Mental Health Care
We, the undersigned, urge you to do all in your power to prevent another mass murder like one at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This means reasonable reform of gun laws such as:
1. Limiting gun purchases to one per month in order to curb gun trafficking.
2. Restrictions on sales of high-capacity magazines so that shooters can’t kill as many people without reloading.
3. Requiring criminal and mental health background checks on all gun sales, including those from gun shows and unlicensed dealers.
4. Reinstatement of the ten year ban on assault rifles that expired in 2004.
This also means that mental health care needs to be adequately funded in the ongoing "fiscal cliff" negotiations as well as future debt ceiling debates.
We have no wish to take all guns away, but something has to change this time. If you refuse to do anything to prevent the further slaughter of innocent children, we will do everything in our power to make sure you are voted out of office in the next election cycle.

Why is this important?
In light of the tragic murders of children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we urge you to pass sensible gun control legislation and ensure that mental health care is adequately funded in the ongoing "fiscal cliff" negotiations.
