Earlier this summer, Congress passed bipartisan gun violence prevention laws to keep our communities safer. These new laws raise the minimum age required to purchase semi-automatic weapons, ban high-capacity magazines, and regulate ghost guns.
This was an important step, but we have more work to do. We still need to reinstate a nationwide ban on assault weapons.
Data shows us that laws like these really do help prevent gun deaths. Every American deserves to feel safe–whether they’re at school, their place of worship, or in the grocery store.
Katie was proud to vote for a bill to ban assault weapons across the country. It passed in the House, but has stalled in the Senate. Sign on to our petition to tell the Senate to pass an assault weapons ban.
We had a nationwide assault weapon ban from 1994 to 2004, but extremist politicians have refused to renew it, making our country a less safe place. Katie is fed up with Republicans who are beholden to the gun lobby and refuse to put safety ahead of profit.
Onward,
Team Porter

Katie is running for re-election in California’s 47th district, which includes Irvine and coastal Orange County. This purple district contains an equal number of Democrats and Republicans and is a must-win for Democrats. Consider pitching in today so we have the resources to keep Katie in Congress fighting for working people. |
