Tweet - "We passed bipartisan, lifesaving gun-safety legislation--the 1st time in nearly 30 years we've taken meaningful action on guns to keep communities safe. Today, @POTUS commemorated this law and vowed to keep fighting for more. We'll keep working for action at all levels of gov't."
06/23/2022

06/15/2022
