I'm proud of our President

I'm proud of our President for speaking out against the gun lobby and challenging congress to do their jobs by bringing gun control up for a vote. They need to go on the record and tell voters where they stand on the issue. Gun control was the most powerful part of the President's address. You can tell he has real passion for the issue. Let's do our part in helping the President and our communities by letting our representatives know we want 1) universal background checks; 2) computerized databases for guns used in crimes; 3) enhanced mental health treatment; 4) limits on magazines over ten rounds; 5) a ban on armor piercing bullets; 6) increased penalties for straw purchasers; and 7) an assault weapons ban.
