Gun violence in Mexico and Central America has created chaos and heartache on an unimaginable scale.
Parents grieving from forced disappearances, cartels conducting assassinations in broad daylight, torture, arbitrary arrests - an environment where violence is far too often met with impunity, where death and destruction can come at any time from both state and non-state actors alike.
The guns fueling the violence come primarily from the United States. Some are trafficked illegally. Some are exported legally. Regardless of how these dangerous weapons end up in Mexico, the fact is that 70 percent of the firearms recovered from crime scenes in Mexico originated in the United States.
We have a critical opportunity to make a real difference in the fight against gun violence and arms trafficking by organizing support for the ARMAS Act (H.R. 6618) and Stop Arming Cartels Act.
Lawmakers have a chance to support this important legislation NOW.
We are asking you to join us. Please take a moment and write to your Congress member today. We need to let them know that there is massive public support for stemming the flow of guns to Latin America.
Take action today and send a message to members of Congress: Sign on as a co-sponsor of the ARMAS Act and the Stop Arming Cartels Act!
