We face a gun violence epidemic in our country. There have already been more than 200 mass shootings in 2022. Nearly 60 percent of Americans know someone who has experienced gun violence. And today, guns are the leading cause of death for children in our country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time and time again, our elected leaders have shown a lack of willingness to work together to get things done. Americans shouldn\u2019t have to worry about being shot at school, at the grocery store, in a house of worship, or anywhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
