Senator Toomey: Support Comprehensive Background Checks!

Background checks keep guns out of the hands of criminals, those who have been involuntarily committed to mental institutions, domestic abusers with active Protection from Abuse orders (PFAs), and drug abusers. Unfortunately, there are gaps and loopholes in existing law.

The House of Representatives recently voted for a comprehensive background check bill (HR 8). However, now we need to make sure the Senate takes action, so we can get a strong background check bill to the President's desk.

The Senate bill, S.42, will close gaps in our system and ensure that almost every gun sale will go through a background check. This is one of the first bills taken up in this new session of Congress, and we are ready to see it move swiftly.

We can't let this legislation get stalled in the Senate.

Sign the petition today and urge Pennsylvania Senator Toomey to support S.42 and comprehensive background checks.
