Our lawmakers should be focused on passing policies that keep us safe—but instead, they're considering legislation that would gut our life-saving gun laws.
H.R. 38 and S. 65 would create a new federal mandate that would force every state to recognize every other state's standards for carrying a concealed and loaded gun in public—including states with weak or no standards at all. This legislation puts all of our communities at risk.
Right now, we're up against a gun lobby-backed administration and Congress who want nothing more than to line the gun industry's pockets and protect their special interests.
But we've stopped them from passing this dangerous mandate before—and we can do it again.
Help us fight back by urging your U.S. senators and representative to oppose H.R. 38 and S.65:
Dear Lawmaker,
I'm your constituent, and I'm urging you to oppose the "Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act" (H.R. 38/S. 65).
States have long had the power to decide who is too dangerous to carry a concealed weapon in public and where concealed firearms cannot be carried. These state laws help promote responsible gun ownership, protect public safety, and provide law enforcement with the tools to enforce their state's gun laws.
H.R. 38 and S. 65 would create a federal mandate that would override our state gun laws by forcing every state to recognize every other state's concealed carry standards—including those with weak or no standards at all. This legislation would make it easier for people with dangerous histories—like those convicted of violent crimes, domestic abusers, and stalkers—to carry a concealed and loaded gun in public in states that wouldn't otherwise let them.
This legislation would put our communities at greater risk of gun crime and violence, endanger law enforcement, and make it more difficult to stop the flow of illegal guns.
We already lose 125 people every single day to our gun violence crisis. As my elected official, I'm counting on you to prevent more senseless violence.
Please oppose the "Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act" (H.R. 38/S. 65).
