The Trump admin’s reckless and arbitrary crackdown on immigrants is preventing law enforcement from doing their jobs to stop drug and gun crimes. They’re allowing actual problems to run rampant in our communities. This is making us all less safe.

Law enforcement leaders across the nation agree: A national concealed carry mandate is dangerous. “We should not be forced to accept reciprocity with places where any buffoon who has a pulse gets to carry a gun.”

Extremists in Congress are pushing for a concealed carry mandate, which would allow people to carry hidden guns nationwide—regardless of state laws. Now that the government has reopened, they can vote on this dangerous bill any day. They must vote NO.
