By a vote of 21-11, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee defeated an amendment to close the "Terror Gap" that would have allowed the Attorney General to prevent known terrorists from buying guns.
Help us tell the 21 U.S. Representatives who voted against this amendment on Thursday that they made the wrong choice.
How can the Congress pretend to be serious about protecting the nation from terrorism, while voting to allow known terrorists to buy guns? Send your e-mail today!
Over 1,300 persons on the terrorist watch list have been allowed to purchase firearms or explosives since 2004. Amazingly, being a known or suspected terrorist is not sufficient to prohibit someone from buying guns.
Please e-mail today, and then forward this message to your family and friends.
Sincerely,
Paul Helmke, President
Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence | |
