Daniel was 15 when he was killed in the Columbine High School shooting, after two students were able to purchase firearms through the “gun show loophole.”

Auto sears work by applying force to a firearm’s trigger bar, thereby preventing it from limiting the weapon to firing only one round each time the trigger is depressed. This allows the gun to fire continuously, at a rate of up to 20 rounds per second or 1,200 bullets per minute.

Once difficult to obtain, these illegal devices have exploded in popularity and accessibility on the black market. To evade detection, switches are often advertised online as innocuous items or sold as 3D printer design files, all for as little as $20.

Smartphones are unlocked with a fingerprint to deter unwanted access. A push-to-start car won’t drive unless the key is within range.
Wouldn’t you want the same technology for your firearm?

I’m calling on Congress to:
- Pass universal background checks
- Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
- Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry that can’t be sued
These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.

Many American Indian and Alaska Native tribes were quick to take proactive measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
But instead of supporting and matching these efforts, the US govt has undermined them at every turn.

It's taken over 80 days, numerous lawsuits and public pressure for the Trump administration to pay tribal nations the #COVID19 relief they were promised. And yet all the money still hasn't arrived. #CARESAct #CoronavirusReliefFund #Coronavirus indianz.com/News/2020/06/17/…

The U.S Supreme Court opts to NOT take up 10 Second Amendment cases - which could have wiped out a suite life saving gun violence prevention measures and ushered in a wave of dangerous gun laws.
Make no mistake, this is a HUGE win for public safety.
