At the @HouseJudiciary Committee hearing:

@davidchipman, Former ATF Agent and @GiffordsCourage Senior Policy Advisor explaining why the #AssaultWeaponsBan is needed and ways in which we should improve upon the 1994 version of the ban

The Honorable @nanwhaley, Mayor of Dayton OH, speaking about the lasting impact on a community after the devastation of a shooting using an assault weapon...

We know all too well that the impacts of an assault weapon last long after the shots are fired💔

“We need a national comprehensive approach” — @davidchipman, at the Assault Weapons Ban Hearing.

We agree! That’s why we released our #PeacePlan For A Safer America last month, with the audacious goal of reducing gun deaths in America by 50% in 10 years:

“What is actually disingenuous is that we are arguing about terminology, when you’re looking down the face of a, high-powered high capacity weapon do you really want to ask is it an AR or an AK” — RaShall Brackeny, Chief of @cvillepolice

RaShall Brackeny, Chief of @cvillepolice spurring straight facts at the @HouseJudiciary Committee Hearing on the AWB:

“What stops a bad person with a gun is keeping a gun out of their hands to start with”

“I believe any gun that can be used to hunt individuals should be banned”
