Madeleine is back in DC where, this week, House Democrats passed the Protecting Our Kids Act – a package of eight common sense gun control measures to curb the scourge of gun violence in our country.
The House voted yesterday. We want to hear from you… Friend, do you think it should be a priority for Congressional Democrats to introduce and PASS common sense gun legislation?

Madeleine has long been a strong advocate for stricter gun control measures. In fact, the first piece of legislation she introduced in Congress back in 2019 had to do with regulating untraceable firearms known as “ghost guns” – she was proud to support the Protecting Our Kids Act, which will:
- Increase federal penalties for gun trafficking
- Increase the age to purchase a gun from 18 to 21
- Require the registration of existing bump stocks and ban the sale of dangerous bump stocks to civilians
- Ban the import, sale, and manufacturing of high-capacity magazines
- And much more
As a serious, solutions-oriented legislator, Mad knows that we must take action to ensure that Americans can live lives free of the fear of gun violence – inaction is not a choice:
“... It’s outrageous. We want to save our children. We want to save our babies. We want to save our families… And yet did you hear… the argument on the other side of the aisle? A God-given right for an 18-year- old to slaughter children in a school? Enough is enough.”
– Madeleine Dean on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, June 8th, 2022
Enough is enough. If you agree, instantly add your name to send a clear message that the Senate must take action and vote on the Protecting Our Kids Act NOW >>>
In solidarity,
