Restrictions needed

We should make it illegal for people convicted of violent hate crimes to buy or possess guns. It should be illegal for suspected terrorists to buy guns. We must demand that a background check be required for every gun sale. We need our elected officials to take a stand against gun violence and work to keep our children and all citizens safe.
