There are steps Congress can, and must, take to prevent and reduce gun violence. We need our lawmakers to support common- sense gun laws that could prevent tragedies like these,\u201d the letter reads. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why we urge the Senate to stand with the American public and take action on gun safety by passing a bill to require background checks on all gun sales and a strong Red Flag law that would allow courts to issue life-saving extreme risk protection orders,\u201d it continues. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter, embedded below, was signed by 145 bosses from companies including: Airbnb, Amalgamated Bank, Bloomberg LP, Brookfield Property Group, Cond\u00e9 Nast, DICK\u2019S Sporting Goods, DoorDash, Gap Inc., Levi Strauss &amp; Co., Lyft, Pinterest, Postmates, Royal Caribbean, RXR Realty, Square, TOMS, Twitter, Uber, and Yelp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This call to action earned praise from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, the anti-gun group funded by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a former corporate executive, I can say with certainty that these business leaders would not sign onto this letter unless they were confident that their customers were with them,\u201d said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/house-committee-three-anti-gun-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"145-business-leaders-urge-congress-gun-control-letter\" title=\"145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter\">House Committee Advances Three Anti-Gun Bills, Including Comprehensive Mag Ban<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis letter, along with the recent announcements from corporations like Walmart and CVS to prohibit open carry in stores, proves that acting on gun safety isn\u2019t just the right thing to do \u2014 it\u2019s good for business. If this many major brands can act, surely the Senate can, too,\u201d Watts added. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most important name on the letter is Joshua Kushner, the brother of Jared Kushner who happens to be President Trump\u2019s son-in-law and senior adviser.&nbsp; Maybe that familial connection will have the most influence on the president when his administration signs off on its own proposal to address gun-related violence, which is expected in the coming days, maybe even before the weekend. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because, remember, as much as the letter calls on the Senate to &#8220;take action,&#8221; Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has already stated that he is going to wait on the president\u2019s plan before any gun-control bills are brought up for debate on the Senate floor, as GunsAmerica <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/house-committee-three-anti-gun-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"145-business-leaders-urge-congress-gun-control-letter\" title=\"145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter\">previously reported<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump apparently spoke to Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA), Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Wednesday and was \u201cvery engaged, personally asking thoughtful questions, asking reasonable questions,\u201d about various proposals, but didn\u2019t give a thumbs up or thumbs down on any particular bill. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll know hopefully by tomorrow if there\u2019s something, we can agree on, and once we agree on something we\u2019re going to hold to it and fight for it,\u201d Manchin told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/09\/11\/senators-trump-background-checks-guns-1489534?utm_source=The+Trace+mailing+list&amp;utm_campaign=6e674a23b4-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_08_29_05_58_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_f76c3ff31c-6e674a23b4-53880753\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"145-business-leaders-urge-congress-gun-control-letter\" title=\"145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter\">Politico<\/a> Wednesday. Trump \u201ccan support something we all can agree on is what I took out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re getting to the witching hour and we\u2019ll know soon within the next day or two about whether the White House is willing to put a substantive background checks bill on the table,\u201d Murphy said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/congress\/trump-closes-background-check-decision-key-senators-say?utm_source=The+Trace+mailing+list&amp;utm_campaign=6e674a23b4-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_08_29_05_58_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_f76c3ff31c-6e674a23b4-53880753\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"145-business-leaders-urge-congress-gun-control-letter\" title=\"145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter\">adding that he is still<\/a> \u201cless than 50\/50 [on whether the president will endorse universal background checks], because I know the president has a lot of people calling the opposite direction from us.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The takeaway: Maybe this letter will influence what the president includes in his plan, maybe it won&#8217;t.  Only time will tell.  &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business leaders from around the country signed a letter this week urging Congress to pass new gun-control legislation.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":115680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,469,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-115679","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-gun-control","14":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter - Authors\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/145-business-leaders-urge-congress-gun-control-letter\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"145 Business Leaders Urge Congress to Enact Gun Control in New Letter\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Business leaders from around the country signed a letter this week urging Congress to pass new gun-control legislation.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/145-business-leaders-urge-congress-gun-control-letter\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-09-12T15:05:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-06T04:04:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CorporationsLawmakers.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"679\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
