Mike Levin: “A new poll conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation International and released by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun…”

“A new poll conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation International and released by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence confirms once again that the American people support sensible gun safety legislation. Eighty-three percent of those polled said they support criminal background checks on all gun purchases at gun shows. Nearly four out of five respondents voiced support for preventing gun dealers from selling guns to anyone who has not passed a background check, even if it takes more than 3 days to complete the check. And more than 8 out of every 10 people polled believe that all guns should be sold with childproof safety locks. The message here is clear. People are fed up with the reports of gun violence that dominate the front page and the evening news. America wants action. The Brady Campaign's poll and countless other studies demonstrate our mandate. The incidents of gun violence that plague our neighborhoods and endanger our children confirm our moral obligation. We should ignore neither. We cannot let another Congress go by without action. Let's close the loopholes in our gun laws and remember the 107th Congress as a time when we made America a safer place for our children and our grandchildren.”
