Issue Position: Gun Control

Issue Position

Donna Shalala is calling for immediate action to reduce gun violence in our country.

She was part of the team that pushed the 1994 assault weapons ban and knows that we can do it again. In addition to banning assault weapons, she believes in expanding background checks by closing the gun show, internet sales, and "Charleston" loopholes, and increasing access to mental health services.

That is why she supported the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, the High-Speed Gunfire Prevention Act, and the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 Together, these bills would require a background check for every gun sold in America, ban aftermarket modification that can dramatically increase the rate of fire of weapons, and once again ban the sale of military style assault weapons .

Donna Shalala supports the Second Amendment and comes from a family of hunters. Law-abiding Americans should have access to firearms for sporting and self-defense. This is about common-sense measures to prevent more tragedies from happening.

The only way these and other common-sense gun control measures will come to fruition is with your help. Now is the time to join Team Donna. Work with us to mobilize, to create real change, and to make sure our views are represented in Washington.
