I fully support the requirement for background checks on all firearm sales. This bill is a crucial step in ensuring that guns do not end up in the wrong hands. As a responsible gun owner, I believe that it is important to have these checks in place to help prevent gun violence and keep our communities safe. This bill will not only protect individuals from harm, but it will also help to prevent tragedies like mass shootings. I urge all lawmakers to support this bill and prioritize the safety of our citizens.
