Too many Americans, especially children, die as a result of gun violence every day. The American people have been aroused by this ongoing, senseless slaughter.
Statistics strongly affirm that gun control laws prevent gun violence.
Canada's experience with decreasing gun violence after the enactment of strict gun control laws has demonstrated, clearly and unequivocally, that gun control works. In prior resolutions, the Union has taken a strong stand in favor of gun control. However, merely enacting resolutions has been ineffective in advancing the cause of gun control in the United States. Our reticence allows the NRA to score victory after victory. The time has come for us to do the same.
