#lettherecordshow that there have been many #shootings since the Tucson incident where @gabbygiffords was among the 13 injured (and 6 persons were killed) - yet we still don't have #universalbackgroundchecks!!?? #effyounra!!! #116thcongress - we call on you to #actnow!! Reposted from @moveon - Thank you for your courage @gabbygiffords #Repost @gracieleeart Today is the anniversary of the Tucson shooting that killed 6 people and injured 13 others. Among those shot was former representative Gabby Giffords, who was attending a constituent meeting. This afternoon, House lawmakers introduced HR8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 in her honor. If passed, this legislation would expand background checks to nearly all firearm purchases and close loopholes in the background check system. Research shows that 97% of Americans support universal background checks. This bill is long overdue and an important step toward saving lives. Please urge your representatives to fight for #HR8, for the thousands of Americans killed or injured every year due to senseless gun violence. #gabbygiffords #giffordscourage #backgroudchecks #savelives #congress #actnow #bebold #becourageous #gunviolence #endgunviolence #makeadifference #bethechange #universalbackgroundchecks #116thcongress #artivism #beanactivist #activism https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZN-FeFN_f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7lw6z7zoymr9
