To the editor: The Attorney General’s Task Force on Violent Crime has recommended four common-sense steps to strengthen the nation’s gun law and make it more difficult for the criminal and the crazed to acquire handguns. The Task Force has urged the President to stop the importation of “Saturday Night Special” parts; require that handgun buyers be checked out to make sure they don’t have a criminal record before they pick up their handgun; put behind bars anyone who uses a gun in the commission of a crime; and have handgun owners report the theft or loss of their weapons.
This gives President Reagan, himself nearly killed with a Saturday Night Special, an opportunity to lead this Congress in an effort to stop handgun violence in America. If passed, these handgun control measures would save lives and help make America safe once again.
Write the President today and urge him to adopt the Task Force’s recommendations. You can use this address: President Ronald Reagan, The White House, Washington, D. C. 20500. Do it today. Every letter counts!
