John,
California’s senior U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein has been a giant on the
issue of gun safety.
One reason that is so is because of Sen. Feinstein’s leadership in passing
a nationwide assault weapons ban in 1994, which expired in 2004.
During those 10 years, gun violence and mortalities across this country
dropped precipitously.
Sen. Feinstein approached this legislation through a lens we have seen too
often from today’s leading gun safety activists — personal experience.
As a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, she discovered the
bodies of her murdered colleagues, Mayor George Moscone and Harvey Milk,
who were slain by gun violence.
She arrived in the Senate as a powerful advocate for gun safety and
succeeded in passing legislation that saved lives.
But in the years since George W. Bush and congressional Republicans
allowed that ban to expire, I am afraid you know the answer to what has
happened as well as I do.
Gun violence is a daily horror, and what’s more, victims and their
families have virtually no legal recourse to hold accountable the
manufacturers who so wantonly market these guns or act negligently in
their sale.
The multibillion-dollar gun industry enjoys a shield of legal immunity
afforded to no other industry. The gun liability shield prevents victims
and their families from having their day in court.
As California’s next U.S. Senator, not only will I do everything in my
power to take weapons of war out of civilian hands — I will fight to pass
the legislation I’ve written in the House, the Equal Access to Justice for
Victims of Gun Violence Act.

legal immunity for gun manufacturers, add your name as a citizen cosponsor
of my Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act today.

No other country suffers from the deadly frequency of mass shootings and
broader gun violence that we experience in the United States.
It doesn’t have to be this way. It shouldn’t be this way.
We have the power to change it. Thanks for raising your voice with mine on
behalf of all victims of gun violence and their families today.
— Adam
