VICTORY!
President Signs Bill to Strengthen Brady Background Check System
Dear Eric,
NICS Victory Thanks to YouThe first major piece of national legislation to reduce gun violence in more than a decade was signed into law yesterday. Thank you for making this success possible.
Momentum is on our side because of you.
Please give a generous gift today to mark this
terrific progress and keep it going in 2008!
After the Virginia Tech tragedy, with your help and support, we asked our leaders, "What are YOU going to do about gun violence?" They responded. This new law helps make it more difficult for dangerous people to get their hands on deadly weapons.
The Virginia Tech killer was able to arm himself because the court order that should have blocked his gun purchase was not forwarded from the state to the federal Brady background check system. This law will help ensure that records like these don't fall through the cracks resulting in yet another tragedy of lost lives.
Much more work lies ahead for your Brady Campaign. We will closely monitor the implementation of the legislation to make sure that it is as effective as it can be. And we continue our efforts to pass universal Brady background checks on all gun sales, including closing the gun show loophole.
We deeply appreciate the courage and strength of the Virginia Tech families who lost loved ones on April 16th or who were injured. Many of them signed a powerful letter to Congress and joined us on Capitol Hill on the sixth-month anniversary of those shootings calling for the passage of this legislation. The efforts of all the families involved were critical to this victory.
Our special thanks go out to Representative Carolyn McCarthy and Senators Charles Schumer and Edward Kennedy for their leadership on this legislation.
Thank you again for your support and commitment to making America safe. Happy New Year! We’ve gotten off to a great start.
Sincerely,
