Moulton Statement on the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019

Statement

Date: Feb. 28, 2019
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Guns

"For decades, Congress has failed to muster the political courage to protect our nation from gun violence. The bill that passed today would expand background check requirements to the most common ways someone can buy a gun--an idea almost every American supports. After so many moments of silence, today's vote is the first of what must be many more moments of action to protect Americans from gun violence.

Our nation should commend the Republicans who joined with Democrats today for their moral courage. Their constituents will be safer because they did the right thing today so long as the Senate and the President follow their examples."
