Action Alert on Firearms Exports

Written on: May 14, 2019

The Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart recently signed a letter to Congress which strenuously opposes the Administration’s proposal to significantly weaken regulations and oversight of firearms exports. The action is now public. You can read the Firearms Exports Press Release May 2019 and the Firearms Exports sign-on letter with signers May 14

A major reason to oppose this proposal is because “small arms are the weapons of mass destruction in countries and regions such as Congo, Burma, Mexico, and Central American countries, contributing to the humanitarian catastrophe that is driving the thousands of migrants north as guns flow south.”
