Our families, friends, and neighbors deserve to feel safe in their communities. Lisa supports common-sense gun safety measures, such as universal background checks, closing loopholes in existing gun laws, banning assault weapons, and funding research into gun violence prevention strategies and school mental wellness programs.

Delaware has been a true leader when it comes to gun safety laws — including passing an assault weapons ban, raising the firearm purchasing age from 18 to 21, and strengthening background checks. We should all follow Delaware’s leadership on this issue.

In Congress, Lisa joined Democrats in taking the most significant action to address gun violence in nearly 30 years. The legislation included Lisa’s bill, the Break the Cycle of Violence Act, which provides funding for critical community violence intervention programs. This bill also:

• Expands background checks
• Closes the “boyfriend loophole”
• Increases access to mental health services in schools

Lisa is endorsed by Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and the Giffords PAC, which is dedicated to saving lives from gun violence across the country.
