The vast majority of Americans believe in universal background checks. As a gun owner myself, I firmly support the Second Amendment but I also believe we have to be willing to make some changes for the greater good. Read my full statement on #HR8 here:
Review:
Universal background checks enjoy high levels of public support; a 2016 representative survey found 86% of registered voters in the United States supported the measure.
Review:
Rep Kinzinger is under the belief that gun control is helpful. Gun control has historically been used to keep guns out of the hands of women and minorities to keep them oppressed. It is dangerous and will only hurt them in the long run.
