Universal Background Checks Petition to Cathy McMorris Rodgers

We, the people of the 5th district of Washington State, support background checks for all gun purchases in order to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, the mentally ill, gun traffickers, and drug dealers. We urge Cathy McMorris Rodgers to support background checks for all gun purchases. We need to adopt laws that reduce gun-related deaths and injuries that devastate American communities each year. In the United States a license is required to drive a car and a person will lose their right to drive a car if they do not drive responsibly. It is time for similar uniform requirements for gun ownership for the protection of all Americans.
