Dear Senator Collins --
Far too often, in the wake of a tragic shooting, we learn that the gunman had a history of domestic abuse. That is why I'm writing to urge you to co-sponsor S. 1539, the Protecting Domestic Violence and Stalking Victims Act of 2017. This bill would protect victims of domestic violence by barring convicted stalkers and people who have abused their dating partners from buying or possessing firearms.
We are so grateful for all of your leadership in the Senate to protect women and families, and hope that you will continue to champion commonsense policies, like this one that will save lives.
Please take a stand to protect victims of domestic abuse and co-sponsor S. 1539.
Sincerely,
Your Constituent, ME.
