I’m a veteran trained in firearms, a former federal prosecutor, and a mother of four – so today I’m proud to announce my membership of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. The House’s years of inaction, delay, and avoidance will soon come to an end, and not soon enough.

The very notion of using our military to quell peaceful protests, a linchpin of our democracy, offends me. When I entered the military, I didn’t take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution to then turn around and use rubber bullets and tear gas on peaceful protestors.
Police in Washington, D.C. used tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters to clear them away from St. John's church, which suffered a small fire Sunday night, near the White House.
President Trump then walked to the church for a photo op.
