While I was proud to vote for this bill, we know it is not enough and that the work continues to protect our communities from gun violence,”said Rep. Stansbury. “This bipartisan legislation will invest billions in mental health and school safety, help prevent dangerous individuals from getting access to guns, prevent deaths from domestic violence, enhance background checks, and ban gun trafficking. We still have much more work to do, but this bill will help save lives. I am grateful to the activists, parents, students, and leaders like Senator Heinrich for helping get this bill done.
