Shaheen Applauds Justice Department Rule to Close Gun Show Loophole

"Two years ago, Congress passed, and the President signed into law the most comprehensive gun safety legislation in nearly three decades and today I'm proud that provisions of that law are being implemented to keep guns out of the hands of those who want to do harm. Tragically, mass shootings have become far too common in the United States-it's horrific and unacceptable. The overwhelming majority of Granite Staters and Americans support expanding background checks, and today's policy is a step towards responding to the outcry from the American people. There's still more we can and must do to end the epidemic of gun violence in our country," said Shaheen.
