Today is #NationalGunViolenceAwareness Day. As a former prosecutor, I've seen 1st-hand the kind of damage guns can cause to communities and families. 58% of American adults say they or someone they care for has experienced gun violence. It is time to put an end to this bloodshed.

And its long past time we take weapons of war off of our streets. That's why I wrote
#HR2959, the Freedom from Assault Weapons Act, which would ban assault weapons and require the government to buy them back, removing them once and for all from American communities.Show this thread -
I'm an original co-sponsor of
#HR8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, which expands the federal background check system while also incentivizing states to provide more accurate info for the national background check database.Show this thread -
It's been 100 days and the Republican-controlled Senate still hasn't called for a vote on
#HR8. Together, we can#EndGunViolence in America. It is time to stand up and say#EnoughIsEnough.Show this thread

Anyone who has received million dollar tax cuts shouldn't be allowed to get guns. So we can stop the arms trade worldwide.
