To: The United States Senate
Tell the Senate: Pass Universal Background Checks for All Gun Purchases
VoteVets Action Fund
If a background check is needed to join the military and carry a weapon in Iraq, we should require the same of people who want to carry one at home.
Why is this important?
Did you know that members of the military are required to pass a background check before they're allowed to join the service?
The U.S. Senate is getting ready to vote on universal background checks and despite the fact that 92% of Americans support the measure, its passage remains in doubt. I had to pass a background check to carry a weapon in Iraq, and we should require the same of people who want to carry one at home.
We only have a few days to demonstrate the overwhelming support this issue enjoys. Thousands of veterans with VoteVets.org have already signed a petition on this issue. Will you add your name to theirs today? We'll have a veteran deliver your message to the U.S. Senate before the vote.
