For over 20 years, Republicans have restricted the federal government's ability to collect, preserve, & make public gun records & tracing data through the so-called ‘Tiahrt Amendments’. My bill w/@SenatorMenendez would repeal #Tiahrt and allow these records to be made public.

An AMAZING example of hard-nosed investigative journalism! Tragic tho that such Herculean efforts were required. Thank the ⁦@NRA⁩, the ⁦@GOP⁩ & the #tiahrt amendment for making it so hard to find basic gun trace data https://t.co/ioUts11Jfp via @journalsentinel

The #Dickey Amendments—which #BernieSanders effectively supported by voting against the Lowey-Castle Amendment designed to defeat it—left a lasting detrimental effect. But equally bad were the #Tiahrt Amendments, which worsened said effect. [THREAD] https://t.co/2hcPOFkmKm

Dickey Amdmt, similarly snuck into a ‘96 appropriations bill—plus funding cut the next year—stymied CDC’s efforts to carry out meaningful & vital research on #gunviolence https://t.co/pXvk7IeGbJ Tiahrt dealt the next blow.—4 @shannonrwatts @kharyp @igorvolsky @GiffordsCourage

The #gun industry has been coddled for too long. It hides behind the #NRA while allowing it to lobby for protectionist measures like the #Dickey & #Tiahrt Amendments both of which keep good data out of the hands of policy makers. The #PLCAA act is similar https://t.co/DWunVxTreF

4) Passage of #Tiahrt Admnt that forbids the #ATF from sharing trace data on crime guns with any entity other than the PD directly working on the crime. So, no criminologist, sociologists, health experts -- no one can get vital data to figure out the crime angle to the problem

@MartinHeinrich TY! Can you turn your attention next to repealing #Tiahrt? Just like with Dickey, our criminologists will have real data to research solutions and guide lawmakers in making sound policy decisions.

Yes, and: 1) Give Consumer Product Safety Commission jurisdiction over guns so that they can create standards for safety of the gun industry. @USCPSC 2) Repeal #Dickey so that we can have solid public health research 3) Repeal #Tiahrt so public has better data on crime guns https://t.co/i0SZRYDZQM

1) Expand & enhance the background check system to close loopholes that allow 1 in 5 guns to be sold w/o a check 2) Ban assault weapons & high capacity magazines 3) Pass ERPO laws which let law enforcement & family remove guns from ppl in crisis #NeverAgainQandA https://t.co/1CyXNweJUh
