It's not mental illness or broken families - America has a huge problem and it's senseless deaths, little children dying and it's shattering communities nationwide. And it is like Groundhog Day!

Thoughts and prayers aren't enough, they never were. It's time to take action and pass commonsense gun reform, NOW!

With overall rates of violence increasing across the country, increased measures must be taken. There are more firearms than citizens of the United States. Nearly every European country and ally of the US has both lower rates of gun violence and stricter laws. It is essential to the safety of our country.

We need a way out of this madness. It is time we stopped the sale of assault weapons in the United States.

Anna Eshoo has proposed nothing in more than a decade - she thinks loud tv noise is more important than gun deaths. Sam Liccardo, Mayor of San Jose, called out the failure of Congress - "We are tired of waiting for Congress to act. To confront the scourge of escalating gun violence in our nation, we need bolder, more impactful, and more creative solutions than the half-measures that have emerged from Congress.” Yes, Anna Eshoo is part of this failure.

It is a bipartisan effort - we should come together as elected leaders to decrease the violence at home.
