Letter: Local group calling for federal gun control

We must keep dangerous people from gaining access to firearms at the federal level.

I am the local lead volunteer for our Tri-Valley Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America group.

I was with 2,000 other moms, dads, students and survivors from across our country in Washington, D.C.,  for training to fight to end this national epidemic when we were made aware of yet another horrific shooting in El Paso.

We must keep dangerous people from gaining access to firearms at the federal level. The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed a background-check bill. We need our senators in Washington to vote to require a background check on all gun sales.

We are fortunate here in California to have gun-sense U.S. Senators like Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, but I’d like to encourage your readers who have had enough to please join our movement.
