Issue Position: Gun Violence Prevention

Issue Position

Congressman Suozzi has been a leader in the fight for gun violence prevention legislation. He voted for legislation to support universal background checks and the banning of assault weapons and continues to support Red Flag Laws. As a member of the new Democratic majority, Suozzi worked hard to help secure $25 million for gun violence prevention research in 2019. This was the first funding to research gun violence that had been appropriated in more than two decades.

On Long Island, Suozzi has worked closely with gun violence prevention activist, Linda Beigel Schulman. Linda, who lost her son Scott in the tragic 2018 Parkland shootings, has stood with Suozzi for common-sense legislation. Together, they have held rallies, press conferences, and other events to emphasize that this should not be a partisan issue. This is about the safety of our communities and the lives of our loved ones. Suozzi has been endorsed by the Brady Campaign and has been named a Gun Sense Candidate by Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety.
