For too long, the gun industry has operated without accountability while our communities pay the price. I’m fighting to change that.

My Firearm Safety Act finally applies consumer safety standards to guns, like:
Warning labels.
Recalls on defective firearms.
The same basic protections applied to other dangerous products.
Guns should be sold responsibly. Period. .

My Responsible Firearms Marketing Act cracks down on gun companies that advertise guns to kids, glorify violence, and encourage illegal use of weapons.
No industry should profit by marketing deadly weapons to kids—especially when guns are the number one killer of kids.

The gun industry profits off gun violence. I’m taking the fight to their pocketbooks.
I’ve introduced two bills to hold the gun industry accountable.
One tackles dangerous marketing, particularly to kids.
The other sets basic safety standards like recalls on defective guns

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.
BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned
