More than one hundred Americans are shot and killed every day –– and twice that many have been wounded –– in mass shootings, incidents of daily gun violence, unintentional gun violence, and gun suicide. #RNCConvention2020

But instead of taking meaningful action to reduce gun violence, President Trump has blocked common-sense gun laws, bowed to the @NRA, incited violence, and fanned the flames of white supremacy.

Here are eights ways President Trump, with help from the corrupt NRA, has failed to keep Americans safe from gun violence:

He promised to veto bipartisan legislation to require background checks on all gun sales: More than a year ago, the US House passed H.R. 8––a bill to require background checks on all gun sales––with support from 93 percent of American voters and a bipartisan coalition.

But it has sat on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s desk ever since, untouched and unpassed, because Sen. McConnell and President Trump refuse to support it.

Trump backtracked and failed to support red flag laws: Red flag laws are extremely popular measures that empower family members and law enforcement to ask a judge to temporarily remove a person’s guns when there is evidence that person poses a risk to themselves or others.

After last year’s mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso, President Trump promised to support these life-saving measures –– but he’s since abandoned the idea.

He has made it easier for criminals to access ghost guns: In January, Trump enabled the online posting of schematics for downloadable, untraceable guns––a move that could allow terrorists, convicted felons, and domestic abusers to 3D print untraceable and undetectable weapons.

President Trump has also failed to address the rising problem of ghost guns made at home from parts available without a background check––which have emerged as a weapon of choice for gun traffickers, violent criminals and extremists.

He allowed the background system to be overwhelmed during COVID-19, and for tens of thousands of gun sales to proceed without a completed background check.

Over a year ago, the House passed H.R. 1112 to address the Charleston loophole that allows gun sales to proceed after three business days even if the background check is not completed.

The Charleston loophole has been exacerbated during the pandemic and an Everytown FOIA found 76K gun sales that could be made without a check in just March. Trump has failed to address the loophole and is deleting records of background checks that have not been completed.

He failed to provide critical federal funding to address city gun violence: In the face of persistent and increasing gun violence in US cities during the coronavirus pandemic, he has not prioritized funding the violence intervention programs proven to prevent city gun violence.

He made it possible for people suffering from severe mental illness to buy guns: In 2017, Trump quietly reversed an Obama-era rule, thus making it possible for people who were found to be unable to manage their financial affairs as a result of their mental impairment to buy guns.

He lifted the ban on silencer sales to unfriendly governments and foreign companies, endangering the lives of U.S. troops: At the behest of a former lobbyist for the gun industry, President Trump ended the ban on silencers being sold overseas.

The decision reportedly “thrilled” the gun industry, but military experts “expressed alarm,” because the ban was “intended to prevent American equipment from making its way to hostile groups that might use it against American service members.”

He has caved to the @NRA at every turn: After receiving $30 million in political support from the NRA in 2016, the Trump administration has shaped policies at the NRA’s behest. President Trump has also repeatedly spoken with NRA CEO

Wayne LaPierre, who asked the president to “stop the games” around gun safety legislation after last year’s mass shootings. Shortly after, President Trump obliged.
