There are an average of 1.5 gun-related murder-suicides a day, according to Gun Violence Archive — and the majority stem from intimate partner violence.

As a person touched personally by gun violence, I am honored to receive the endorsement of this great organization working to empower survivors and strive for common-sense gun laws that that protect both our communities and our freedoms, because gun ownership must come with responsibility.

Eight children were killed in a domestic violence shooting spree yesterday in Shreveport, LA. Louisana has the U.S.'s 6th-highest rate of gun deaths, and some of the U.S.'s weakest gun regulation, including no universal background check, waiting period, or ERPO laws.

Today's case considers just that situation. Giffords sought relief from the FEC for alleged violations of the FECA by the NRA. When the FEC couldn't resolve the complaint, Giffords sought a court judgment declaring the failure to act - a statutory prerequisite to bring its own suit.

My heart breaks for the eight children killed in the horrific shooting in Louisiana yesterday.

Speaker Johnson, this happened in your own hometown. You have the power to stop future shootings by working with us to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.
