Subject Co-Sponsor the Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act, S.4339

No federal assault weapons ban has been in effect since the last one expired in 2004. The Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act, S. 4339, would ban the sale of assault weapons, require a background check for nearly every gun sale, create a national extreme risk protection order law, and bar people convicted of misdemeanor stalking from having guns.

These are tools many states already use. A background check stops a prohibited buyer before the sale. An extreme risk order lets a family or police ask a court to remove guns from someone in crisis. Without a federal standard, that protection depends on which state a person lives in.

Please co-sponsor S. 4339.
