Austria is showing the world what action looks like.

It took leaders just two weeks after a horrific school shooting to make steps to prevent tragedies and save lives.

How many more school shootings will it take for America to change our deadly status quo?

While America today is focused on the DC National Guard shooting, we should all be asking how did the shooter get his guns and why is this administration working to make that even easier?
While the world focused on the Epstein files, Congress took up a dangerous bill that sponsors say is to help law enforcement get greater access to “less-than-lethal” weapons.

In reality, it deregulates dangerous weapons to help a billion-dollar weapons industry make more money.

I wrote back in Sept in @washingtonpost.com that the Trump administration was turning our nation’s capital into a tinderbox - even baiting armed violence.

It is tragic that we are here today, with two families missing loved ones who are fighting for their lives.

The Trump administration's continued focus on immigration enforcement is letting gun crime off the hook.

The number of weapons seized by DHS dropped 73% compared to last year.

Keep in mind, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans. These shifts make us all less safe.

But that's a lie. What it really does is increase their profits — while unleashing new deadly weapons, including ghost guns.

President Trump previously pardoned participants of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Now, he has pardoned a militia member who was also convicted of illegally possessing firearms.
