US Rep Kathy Castor

Thinking of #Parkland students & all victims of gun violence. Unfortunately, the gun lobby is blocking bipartisan gun measures in FL - 97% of Americans support background checks so criminals & those who struggle with mental health do not obtain a firearm.

Thank you Rep Castor for working towards common sense gun laws. I know that you will keep working towards what your FL constitutes want. We will work towards removing those GOPers that are beholden to the NRA.

will continue to push for gun safety laws. #VoteBlue

Please keep fighting for gun safety! I attended the church of the one of the Parkland families and saw firsthand how it affected the family and community. It was heartbreaking and I’ll remember it the rest of my life. Lax gun laws are inhumane not unconstitutional.
