TODAY: Rep. @rosadelauro and @SenBlumenthal call on Congress to pass #EthansLaw – setting federal firearm safe storage standards that will help prevent unspeakable tragedies.
Everyday, unlocked guns lead to deaths. This law would save lives and promote responsible gun ownership.
Today, on the last day of Passover, six months to the day from the Tree of Life shooting, Jews in San Diego were shot and murdered simply for being Jewish.
To the Poway community: we are with you.
To all facing religious bigotry & white nationalist violence: we are with you.
My heart is breaking after today’s deadly shooting at Chabad Congregation in San Diego—on the last day of Passover and 6 months to the day after the Tree of Life shooting.
We as a nation must confront the terrifying rise of religious hate and violence.
Love trumps hate.
Twice as many American children die from gun violence as police officers and soldiers combined.. This is horrific and why we need leaders to step up and pass common sense gun reform. https://t.co/6F0F6AaeTf
There are not enough counselors especially in underfunded schools. We should focus on getting kids help.

"It is sobering that in 2017, there were 144 police officers who died in the line of duty and about 1,000 active-duty military throughout the world who died, whereas 2,462 school-age children were killed by firearms..." #EnoughIsEnough

This morning I'm praying for the 49 people shot and killed in New Zealand by a right wing extremist. And I promise to do everything in my power to protect my Muslim brothers and sisters who wake up to this news and worry they'll be attacked because of their religion.
My heart is heavy with grief for New Zealand & Muslims worldwide affected by the tragic murders in Christchurch. The massacre of those in a house of worship, in prayer, is evil & cowardly. We stand with our friends around the world to condemn hate & speak out against intolerance.
I join my colleagues and the rest of the world in condemning the vicious anti-Muslim attack in New Zealand. There is no place in our world for evil, hatred, and bigotry. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those affected. -Rosa
Michelle and I send our condolences to the people of New Zealand. We grieve with you and the Muslim community. All of us must stand against hatred in all its forms.
No community on Earth should have to experience the intense loss that comes from gun violence.
When hate tries to divide us, we will always respond with compassion & unity.
Money raised is going to Christchurch for healing. Rise up against hate with us: https://t.co/8Z4wUC9Ffc
