Today we need Congress and our state legislatures to do the same for firearms. We need universal background checks and extreme risk laws. We also need bans on high capacity magazines and assault weapons, safe storage laws, and mandatory lost and stolen reporting.

We need to increase the minimum purchase age to 21 and we need to fund research to learn what additional measures will decrease the carnage we face from guns today, while preserving the right of law abiding gun owners to engage in firearms recreation and maintain weapons for self defense.

What really needs to be done is to stop relying on someone else with a gun to come and save you. Be an American that is willing to take responsibility for your own protection.

Awfully presumptuous. I don't think "Americans agree that gun deaths are a national crisis." Violent crime and crime involving firearms is in decline.

You can't compare automobiles and firearms.....driving is a privilege, bearing arms is a right.

I could expect no less from a policy director from someplace called "Squirrel Hill."

All the gun control laws passed since the 1968 gun control act (and even before that) were supposed to stop unlawful use of guns. None of them have achieved their promise. What makes anyone think that more laws will work.

Gun control laws only affect law abiding citizens. The criminals, wackos and malcontents do not obey laws and will get guns regardless of the number of laws and restrictions.
