Tell President Obama: Please Take Action to Reduce Gun Violence

  • by: Everytown
  • recipient: President Barack Obama

We're tired of waiting for Congress to act on gun violence.

That's why Everytown for Gun Safety sent President Obama these five straightforward actions the White House can take to help curb gun violence, save lives, and reduce crime without waiting on Congress:

  • Guns Near Schools: Remove exemptions that let dangerous people carry guns near our children's schools

  • Crack down on No-Check Gun Sellers: Make sure high-volume gun sellers become licensed dealers and are required to conduct background checks for all gun sales.

  • Intercept Potential Killers: Ensure that federal law enforcement notifies local law enforcement when dangerous criminals try to illegally buy guns at dealers in their community

  • Enforce Existing Law: Help states that require background checks for all gun sales to enforce existing laws on the books

  • Close the Boyfriend Loophole: Don't let convicted domestic abusers buy guns just because they’re not married to the person they abused

We know President Obama is open to these ideas, but to overcome the NRA's aggressive opposition, we need to send an overwhelming message that we want real action NOW.

Tell President Obama that you support him in taking executive action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.

Dear Mr. President,

88 Americans are killed by gun violence every day in this country, with hundreds more injured. 

We know you are open to addressing this issue without Congress, and we therefore encourage you to consider the five following actions your administration can take without Congressional approval: 



  • Remove exemptions that let dangerous people carry guns near our children's schools

  • Make sure high-volume gun sellers become licensed dealers and are required to conduct background checks on all gun sales

  • Ensure that federal law enforcement notifies local law enforcement when dangerous criminals try to illegally buy guns at dealers in their community

  • Help states that require background checks for all gun sales to enforce existing laws on the books

  • Don't let convicted domestic abusers buy guns just because they're not married to the person they abused
