The root cause of the nation's rash of mass shootings is complex, however one proactive step we can do is to enforce existing gun laws. The federal agency charged with this has been without a permanent director since the Bush administration. Organizations without leaders are rudderless and ineffective. We request the President consider this recess appointment as a tangible measure of showing that it is not business as usual in Washington, where nominees are dragged down in various political turf wars while the American people are not properly served by their government. Thank you.
