pass a criminal background check; 
Whereas according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, in 2017 there were 36,252 firearm deaths in 
the United States, with 12,979 of those deaths being 
homicides and 20,018 being suicides;

Whereas there is a lack of funds and focus put into back-
ground check systems and inspections as mandated by 
Federal law for gun owners and dealers; and

engage and work with their congressional and local rep-
resentatives to achieve their goal of ending gun violence 
in schools and communities across the United States:

records from purchasing guns; 
(2) require background and age checks for all 
gun buyers;
