More gun bills have been introduced into the 113th Congress. Some of them are good, like Rand Paul's, but most are bad.

Issue Spotlight: Firearms and Gun Control

Jan. 4, 2013: With firearms and gun control legislation on the top of the minds of POPVOX users (see the top bills of the 112th Congress), it seemed appropriate for our first Issue Spotlight of the year to cover this issue. Not surprisingly, nearly a dozen bills have already been introduced in the 113th Congress, not to mention the more than 50 bills introduced in the 112th Congress.

We can expect debate in Congress on what, if any, legislative action is appropriate in response to the Newtown, CT, shooting - and Congress needs to hear from their constituents on this issue at this critical time.

POPVOX will deliver your letters to your Members of Congress -- guaranteed.
