Congress needs to:
- Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
- Strengthen background checks
- Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws
- Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability
We can’t fail the American people again.

If anyone can think of any reason for a civilian to have either an assault weapon or a high capacity magazine, does the reason compare with keeping our children safer? Of course not. Ban them both. Right now.

I believe in science, I believe in common-sense gun safety, and I know that we can’t let the NRA or the filibuster stop us from protecting our people.

Nowhere is safe — not even our hospitals, our places to heal from gun violence.
Every minute we wait for action is a minute too late.
We can’t keep living like this. We won’t keep living like this.

Little kids shot in the face and the first thing Congress does is take a vacation.
Please spare me all the talk show BS about their seriousness.

The New York Times reached out to all 50 Republican senators following the Texas elementary school shooting to see if they would support a pair of House-passed measures to strengthen background checks for gun buyers.

Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs. nbcnews.to/39VYlJE

The vast majority of Americans, including most gun owners, support basic gun safety measures. We must break the NRA’s stranglehold & end the filibuster so Washington can finally act to prevent mass shootings & daily violence—from schools & homes to streets & playgrounds.

Let's be clear: Republican Senators are blocking common sense gun safety legislation against the will of the American people.
Polling shows that 90% of Americans want their federal lawmakers to take steps to prevent gunmen from perpetrating horrific violence trib.al/xW4mXme

Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway: All these countries had a culture of gun ownership, and they all tightened restrictions after mass shootings.
Only the U.S. has so consistently refused to reform gun laws, Max Fisher writes. nyti.ms/38no4du
