American Women Under the Gun

AMERICA IS A DANGEROUS PLACE FOR WOMEN:     Did you know American women are 11 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than women in any other developed country...?    If there is a gun in a home where domestic violence occurs, it is five times more likely a woman will be murdered.     But in 41 states, domestic abusers are not required to relinquish their guns. These are just a few of the startling statistics from our new report,     “Guns and Violence Against Women – America’s Uniquely Lethal Domestic Abuse Problem.” Read it here:    http://every.tw/1pn2DJ7 Meme by Moms Demand Action

Congressman Chris Smith does NOT support Universal Background Checks HR1565 and he voted against the Violence Against Women's Act.

Smith is up for re-election in November. Show Smith how you feel about his voting record. VOTE IN NOVEMBER!
