BREAKING: The City of Philadelphia and GIFFORDS Law Center have reached a $1.3 million settlement with the largest ghost gun companies in the country. Our lawsuit alleged they perpetuated gun violence by unlawfully selling unserialized ghost gun kits in Philadelphia.

President Biden saved lives today.

Since 2013, I've fought to close this loophole in our background check system.

Now, more gun dealers will have to conduct background checks and fewer people intent on doing harm will be able to buy guns, no questions asked. Thank you, President Biden.

The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill to arm teachers—against the wishes of parents, students, and 80% of teachers.

Arming teachers isn’t about safety—it’s a gun industry idea to sell more guns.

A new ATF report found nearly 230,000 guns were trafficked from 2017-2021 and that unlicensed sellers are now the largest source of trafficked firearms.

Thanks to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, gun trafficking is now a federal crime.

Today's decision by the Arizona Supreme Court reinstitutes a total abortion ban from the 1800s. This is the biggest step backward since the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Make no mistake, this is happening because of Donald Trump. We must work to restore abortion rights this November.

The AZ Supreme Court upheld a 160-year-old abortion ban. This is heartbreaking, wrong, and sets our state back in time.

Everything is on the line this November. We must elect leaders who will restore reproductive freedom and prioritize the health and safety of women.

Today, Governor Katie Hobbs made the right call and vetoed a dangerous bill that would have made our state less safe.

From Kingman to Tucson, Arizonans deserve to live without fear of gun violence.

I'm grateful that we have Gov. Hobbs to keep Arizona safe.

While serving together in Congress, I saw firsthand Raul M. Grijalva’s passion and love for the people of southern Arizona. He is a dedicated leader, ready to take on any obstacle.

Mark and I are sending you all of our strength, Raúl, and wishing you a quick recovery.

This is one weekend in America:

- Seven children shot at an Indianapolis mall
- One person killed and several injured at an Easter brunch in Nashville
- 33 people shot in Chicago

Silence is not an option—our lawmakers MUST act to keep guns out of the wrong hands.

President Joe Biden has taken more action on gun violence than any president in history, while Donald Trump literally wants us to “get over” our children being shot and killed.

In 2024, the choice is clear: We must reelect Joe Biden.

My administration is taking the crisis of gun violence head on.

I’ve signed more executive actions on gun violence than any president in history and the most significant law to address gun violence in almost 30 years.

Strong women get things done!

Each of these candidates inspire young girls across the country to dream big and never back down from a fight—especially when it comes to protecting our communities from gun violence. I am proud to endorse them.

BREAKING: A strong “red flag” law has been introduced in the Maine House of Representatives.

Since the mass shooting in Lewiston, Mainers have made it clear: they demand commonsense gun safety laws.

This reform will save lives.

One year ago today, 3 students and 3 staff members were shot and killed at the Covenant School in Nashville.

Our schools should be safe havens. Instead, an entire generation is traumatized by gun violence.

As we remember the victims, we recommit to honoring them with action.

My heart is heavy as we remember the students and staff who were shot and killed at The Covenant School one year ago in Nashville.

We failed our children that day and TN leaders fail them each day they don't act. I’ll never stop fighting for the safer future our kids deserve.
