I BELIEVE we need to put an end to the cycle of gun violence that is taking too many lives in our schools and our communities. Every year, 114,000 Americans are shot. There's hardly a community that hasn't been or won't be impacted by gun violence, including victims of domestic abuse.
In Congress, I'll stand on the side of protecting lives and fighting for change.
I will ban the magazines and assault style military weapons designed for soldiers, not citizens.
I will push the CDC to conduct substantive research on the public health implications of the prevalence of firearms in America.
I will advocate for comprehensive background checks at every point of sale.
I will work to create a Select Committee on Gun Violence, so we can bring people together around this issue and come up with sensible solutions.
