Chairman Becerra: President Obama is Doing His Job to Prevent Gun Violence; It's Time For Congress To Help
Statement
Issues: Guns
Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (CA-34) released a statement regarding President Obama's announcement that he will expand background checks and close loopholes on gun sales to better prevent gun violence:
"I appreciate that President Obama is taking action where he can to protect American families from gun violence. The President is doing his job; it's time for Congress to help. Only Congress can fully and permanently close the loopholes that allow guns to fall into the hands of criminals, the mentally ill, and those who look to terrorize our citizens. Moments of silence in the House and Senate chambers are no substitute for real action to save our loved ones from the horrors of senseless and avoidable gun violence."
