I support a National Referendum for background checks for all gun purchases.

This petition is meant to save lives. It is a request for a national referendum on background checks for all gun purchases. Background checks are an integral part of daily life. In an article by Joshua Levy, CEO, BeenVerified.com, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, states" that 30% of small business failure is caused by employee theft. Effective background checks mitigate your risk of hiring objectionable, or even dangerous, employees."
Human decency dictates that background checks on all gun purchases is the right thing to do. Otherwise, the gun lobbies will continue to control and influence certain members of the Senate and House resulting in the
continued violence in our communities.
