Because of his criminal record, Martin was prohibited from owning guns. When FBI agents arrested Martin in connection with his Jan. 6 case, they found "8 firearms, including an AR‑15‑style rifle, multiple high-capacity magazines for the AR-15 & more than 500 rounds of ammunition”

January 2025 has been an emotional whirlwind in my career. It is by far the busiest January I’ve experienced in 25 years of reporting. Throughout the month, I’ve found myself cheering, laughing, shedding a tear, and shaking my head in disbelief. #January2025 #newslife #mylife

And we send tons of guns into Mexico. See this case before the Supreme Court now. What are ways we can stop this? scotusblog.com/2024/11/justic…

We lose 8 kids a day (including toddlers) who die after finding and playing with an unsecured guns in their home. Mental health treatment can't solve for that.

“Illegal violence of any sort is a crime issue” More than half of all firearm deaths are suicides so spinning it all as crime is a terrible disservice to the nearly 26,000 Americans who die by firearm suicide each year.

After I was shot, I went and interned for the director of the ATF Washington . Together I helped put together the faces of gun violence display, to remind the brave people at the ATF who the fight for. I’m gutted to hear they have taken it down. #GunViolencePrevention #ATF #Gov

Yesterday was National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day. Did you know that more than half of all gun deaths are suicides? Yet this aspect is far too often overlooked. juliabrownley.house.gov/brownley-leads…

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
