1) We have changed the conversation dramatically since the Sandy Hook mass shooting tragedy in 2012. Gun control was barely mentioned in 2008 or 2012 Elections but now ALL 19 Democrat Presidential candidates support an assault weapons ban! @nytimes

2) In 2013, a few months after 20 children & educators were killed by a gunman with an AR15 in Sandy Hook, 30% of the Democratic caucus in the Senate voted against the assault weapons ban. nytimes.com/2013/04/18/us/… @nytimes
3) Now, the biggest disagreement between the Democratic Presidential candidates is whether people who already own those assault weapons should be required to sell them to the government, or simply given the option to do so. #BanAssaultWeapons

Happening today in Las Vegas: 9 presidential candidates, @GiffordsCourage, and @AMarch4OurLives are together to talk about the gun violence epidemic and gun violence prevention.

@sandra4nv and @GovSisolak joined them to talk about the work we’ve done in Nevada. #2020GunSafety
.@GovSisolak highlighted the work our Legislature did this session to prevent gun violence.

He said, “...one of the first bills I signed as Governor closed the background check loophole. I’m honored every day that I was the Governor who had the honor of signing that bill.”
“In our short legislative session we worked to pass the most consequential gun violence prevention legislation in our state’s history.”

We closed the background check loophole, banned bump stocks, enacted red flag laws and created safe storage laws.
