Van Hollen Statement on President Obama's Executive Actions to Reduce Gun Violence
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch Guns
Today Maryland Congressman Chris Van Hollen released the following statement on President Obama's executive actions to reduce gun violence:
"President Obama's executive actions on gun safety will protect Maryland communities and help save lives across the country. The overwhelming majority of Americans support expanding federal background checks for gun buyers, but Republicans in Congress beholden to the gun lobby and the NRA have prevented us from even having a vote. I have urged the President to take every possible step to make our communities safer, and Congress must build on this effort to reduce the horrific toll of gun violence in our communities."
