Campaign to Close the Gun Show Loophole

i agree

Listen to the NPR audio: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114369908

Please call your mayors to get them to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns -- a wonderful group of courageous mayors fighting to keep illegal guns out of the hands of criminals to protect American lives!

Thanks for posting this you helped stimulate an idea for how I should convince B-burg's mayor he needs to join up!

We need to close the gun show loophole in Fort Worth, Texas because we don't want to see another mass killing at a church in our Community like they had at the Wedgewood Baptist Church. We applaud the Mayor of Hurst who is the only Mayor in all of Texas to have the courage to stand up to NRA intimidation and join Mayors against Illegal Guns. Apparently all the rest of the Mayors in Texas that aren't joining, are infavor of illegal guns.

Thanks Sharon for posting this. All of us need to urge our Mayors in community after community across the United States to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns -- who are fighting to protect us all from gun violence. They are an amazing force and we have to help build up, up, up their ranks. U.S. legislators in Congress are VERY hesitant to oppose ... Read Morethe mayors in their states who want better gun laws -- such as closing the gun show loophole. So this is key -- to urge more of our mayors to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns. If any of you are reading this, just pick up the phone and call your mayor's office to ask him/her to join this mayor's group and tell your friends to do the same! If enough of us do this, it will strengthen our mayors to do the RIGHT THING FIGHTING GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES!

Are your legislators listed on this co-sponsor lists? IF NOT, please contact them IMMEDIATELY to request that they become sponsors of these bills. THINK YOUR VOICE DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Think again. If you (and hopefully your friends too!) call/email you can make a BIG difference on this. Just tell them you want them to be co-sponsors of the bill to close the gun show loophole because you are FED UP with dangerous individuals having easy access to guns in America:

Not good.

Can you say "straw purchase"?

well put his ass in prson, thats where he belongs

Someone who sells over 100 weapons every weekend at gun shows is not a private seller. But you will find these same people claiming that they are private sellers at every gun show.

About time.
