Title
06/23/2022
Tweet - "In 2020, 45,000 Americans died from gun-related injuries. We've recently seen horrific mass shootings in Buffalo and Texas. The Supreme Court's response: loosen gun safety laws. Six justices are way out of touch with reality."
06/11/2022
Tweet - "Ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons. Prohibit high-capacity magazines. Expand background checks. End the gun show loophole. If we can't get 60 votes in the Senate, then we must end the filibuster."
05/25/2022
Tweet - "Enough is enough. We must abolish the filibuster and pass gun safety legislation NOW. No one in America needs an AR-15. How many more children, mothers and fathers need to be murdered in cold blood before the Senate has the guts to ban assault weapons and take on the NRA?"
05/24/2022
Tweet - "The horrific rampage in TX once again makes clear that there are some very sick people in this country with guns in their hands who should not have them. Congress may not be able to end this problem, but we must at least pass commonsense gun reforms to finally protect the public."
05/14/2022
Tweet - "This act of domestic terrorism by a racist, anti-Semitic white supremacist using an AR-15 should be a call to action. Let us finally pass common sense gun safety reforms. We cannot grow numb to this violence, and we must show our nation can come together to address this hatred."
12/14/2021
Tweet - "Today we remember the unspeakable tragedy that stole the lives of 20 children and 6 educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. We cannot continue to allow sickening and senseless gun violence in this country. The time for Congress to act is long overdue."

07/29/2019
Tweet - "This is sickening to wake up to. Our corrupt political system, which is controlled by the gun lobby, has a lot of waking up to do. When our children are being shot in places that should be safest, we're failing. Let's get serious about gun control."
07/12/2019
Tweet - "The insurance industry, the drug industry, the NRA, the fossil fuel industry and the military industrial complex will spend outrageous sums of money to see us fail. I think that says a lot about our campaign. We stand with the people, not those who want to profit off suffering."
06/27/2019
Tweet - "We can and will end the epidemic of gun violence in this country: -Take on the NRA and its corrupting effect on Washington -Enact universal instant background checks and end the gun show loophole -Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines #DemDebate2"
