Buy an assualt rifle at a gun show no background check

I write in support of the Nov. 23 letter by Peter Huntington against the Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act.

I would like readers to know the following facts about the gun violence problem in the United States from Coalition to Stop Gun Violence:

67.5 percent of murder victims in 2009 were killed by firearms, more than any other weapon.

Assault rifles can be bought without background checks at gun shows in more than 35 states.

Nine children die from gun violence every day.

A staggering 40 percent of gun sales nationwide take place without a criminal background check.

An FBI crime report showed that firearms were used in 67.5 percent of murders, 41.4 percent of robberies and 20 percent of aggravated assaults in the nation.

CSGV has been working to support legislation to ensure that all U.S. gun sales require an effective background check prior to the sale.

I suggest that readers who want to do something to protect the public from the scourge of gun violence rampant across our country express their views to their senators and representative in Congress.

Those interested can contact CSGV: (202) 408-0061, www.csgv.org.
