Since Ted Deutch came to Congress in 2010, preventing gun violence and finding a commonsense consensus to keep our communities safe has been a fundamental issue for him. Every year our country loses nearly 13,000 people to gun homicides and, since 2013, there have been 306 school shootings that have devastated communities and families. The recent tragedy at Stoneman Douglas High School has reaffirmed his commitment to protecting our communities and schools.
