10/24/2022 Tweet - "My heart breaks for the people of St. Louis & this community in the wake of this awful shooting. We owe it to our kids to make sure they can go to school without fear that they won't come home--that's why I'm going to keep fighting to deliver common-sense gun safety legislation."
10/21/2022 Tweet - "The bipartisan gun safety bill we passed this Congress is the strongest action we've taken on gun violence in nearly 30 years--but there's more to be done, like passing universal background checks & banning assault weapons. I'll keep pushing to save lives in our communities."

02/07/2022 Tweet - "My heart goes out to the Richland community after today's shooting and I'm thinking of our first responders working to apprehend the shooter and keep everyone safe. No one should have to live in fear of gun violence--not in our grocery stores, our schools, or anywhere else."
12/12/2021 Tweet - "I refuse to let Republican obstruction continue to get in the way of passing common-sense gun safety measures that will save lives and address our nation's gun violence epidemic. We need to get this done, and all options need to be on the table to do so."
