Last night, a gunman with a history of mental illness and easy access to a weapon of war walked into a bowling alley and a bar, shot and killed 18 people and injured 13 others.

It was the 10th deadliest mass shooting in modern American history and the worst since the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde last year.

And you want to know something else?

Literally hours before the shooting, the U.S. Senate voted to pass an amendment allowing veterans found mentally unfit to still be allowed access to guns.

You can't make this stuff up.

Listen, there are some issues in Washington, D.C. and states across the country that are tricky and tough to fix.

This one isn't.

The data is clear, and it is conclusive: states with strong gun laws — like California — have lower per-capita gun homicide and suicide rates. States with weak gun laws have higher gun homicide and suicide rates.

So if Congress won't act...

And if the courts prevent states like California from doing what has to be done to save lives...

Then we need a Constitutional Amendment to make our communities safer from gun violence.

My state — California — was the first to adopt a resolution calling for one. Now we need 33 more.

Will it be easy? Of course not.

But will it happen? I believe it will and that we are on the first ones on the right side of history.

I am committed to making sure similar resolutions are introduced, and passed, in more states across the country. If you think that is a fight worth fighting, I am asking for your help today:
