There have already been more arrests this year for bringing guns into the Capitol than in all of 2023. Rather than address the threat of guns & political violence, Republicans are making it easier via OBBB to buy silencers & concealable weapons.
CBS News has learned police seized a ghost gun that a Maryland man attempted to bring through a security checkpoint at the Cannon US House Office Building last Tuesday, June 24, when the US House was in session and was staging a series of committee hearings (more).

It’s time for Congress to pass legislation to reduce illegal gun trafficking & repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to ensure survivors of gun violence, both at home & abroad, can access the same legal avenues for justice that hold other industries accountable.

The same dangerous & irresponsible gun industry practices fueling violence & instability in Mexico & Central America are also contributing to firearms being the leading cause of death for U.S. children and teens. .

I wrote about how DOJ reducing accountability for rogue gun dealers makes us all less safe is a gift to a gun industry that does not want any regulations or enforcement so that it can profit from the diversion of guns to the underground market
