Theresa Vaillancourt | Oppose HR20

Dear members of the House-State Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee, I’m writing to oppose HR-20. Every day, nearly 130 people in the United States are killed with guns; the average number of people killed with each year is 46,684. The gun homicide rate in the U.S. is 26 times higher than that of other developed countries. We have a gun violence crises—it’s heartbreaking, it’s scary, and it’s unacceptable. Research shows that common sense public safety laws can reduce gun violence and save lives. I urge you to oppose HR-20 and instead, draft legislation that will focus on life-saving common sense measures rather than legislation for even more unfettered gun rights. Thank you for your consideration, Theresa Vaillancourt Goffstown, NH
