We applaud President Obama and his administration for quickly proposing comprehensive legislation that will help protect American families, and we call on Congress to pass these common-sense measures designed to address the epidemic of gun violence in America.
The legislation proposed today by President Obama will enhance the safety of our children in cities, in rural areas, and in the suburbs. Gun violence has become a public health crisis in the United States. Too many American families have been destroyed by gun violence, and mothers will no longer tolerate continued inaction by Congress on sensible gun laws.
