Nine years ago this month (12-14-12), 20 first-graders and six educators were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Here’s our goal: expand the existing background checks system to keep prohibited persons from taking advantage of loopholes. Eight in 10 Americans, including tens of millions of gun owners, want us to expand background checks. We just need a few more senators to see that expanding background checks is one of those solutions. Today, on this day of remembrance of the Sandy Hook tragedy, we ask our colleagues, advocates, and parents to join us in taking bipartisan action to strengthen and expand our background checks system.
