You know what is so weird, is me saying how great Peter King has been acting lately (on Morning Joe's recap show a few times, etc.)

He has been down the middle/to the left about how the the GOP should be dealing with the the DHS funding issue, etc. and, check it out now because Congressmen Peter King and Mike Thompson, a Republican and a Democrat, are re-introducing their legislation to expand background checks for gun purchases. It's called The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act of 2015 and it deserves our support. 

Please help them by adding your name to the petition created this week. Thanks!

Their plan is simple: reduce gun violence by making it harder for criminals and the dangerously mentally ill to get their hands on guns.

It's a commonsense idea that has backing from both parties. 


When Gabby and I created Americans for Responsible Solutions, we dedicated ourselves to doing all we can to make our communities safer from gun violence.

Getting this bill through Congress won't be easy, but it is our mission to help make it happen. Right now, people can easily buy guns online and at gun shows without a background check. That's why we're on Capitol Hill today to celebrate the leaders in Congress who are speaking out in support of taking action to close those loopholes. Let's send a strong message that the public supports their work, as well.

Can you sign our petition saying you support Reps. King and Thompson's bill to expand background checks?
