Americans know that we can respect the rights of responsible gun owners and enact commonsense gun reforms to keep our communities safe. Congress is so intimidated by the gun lobby that they won't even prevent suspected terrorists from buying assault weapons. That includes Republicans and Democrats, gun owners and non-gun owners alike. It's just that the gun lobby, and in particular the NRA, has spent decades using money and influence to cause gridlock in Washington. We need to elect leaders with the courage to stand up to the gun lobby.
