Thompson Lauds Committee Passage of Protecting Our Kids Act

Statement

Today, House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Chairman Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-05) lauded Judiciary Committee passage of H.R. 7910, Protecting Our Kids Act. This gun violence prevention legislation co-authored by Chairman Thompson includes commonsense measures supported by the American people that will help end gun violence and save lives. The Protecting Our Kids Act is expected to come to the House floor next week for a vote.

"The passage of the Protecting Our Kids Act today by the House Judiciary Committee is an important step forward to help end gun violence," said Thompson. "By cracking down on gun trafficking, ghost guns and bump stocks, raising the age to purchase certain firearms, strengthening safe gun storage rules, and banning large capacity magazines often used in mass shootings, we can help keep our communities safe and save lives. I look forward to voting on this legislation when it comes to the floor next week and I will continue to do everything in my power to enact commonsense gun laws that our nation wants and our country desperately needs."
