[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

I am fed up with my kids worrying whether they are safe in Irvine public
schools. You know why they worry? Because they might not be. Just a few
weeks ago, we had a shooting nearby in Laguna Woods.

I am fed up with Republicans in Washington who, behind closed doors, admit
that we must do something about gun violence. But when the time comes to
act, they are shills for the gun lobby.

Yesterday I was proud to call out special interest groups’ bullshit in an
Oversight Committee hearing. Conservative groups are lying to the American
people to keep us from passing legislation to prevent gun violence.

70% of Americans support common sense solutions to gun violence. That’s
why the House just passed legislation to raise the minimum age to purchase
semi automatic weapons, ban high-capacity magazines, and regulate ghost
guns.

There are solutions to gun violence. But there is an entire lobby working
to stop gun violence prevention. Our children, our communities, and our
places of worship are the ones who bear the devastating and deadly
consequences.

The duty of the government is to keep its people safe, and when romaine
lettuce or treadmills cause harm—the government recalls and regulates
them. But as thousands of people die because of gun violence, we literally
allow gun manufacturers to get away with murder.

Thanks for being in this fight,

Katie Porter
