Politician
July 11, 2022
Tweet - ""Engineered to the specs of freedom & independence." An AR-15 with high-capacity magazine--the same type of rifle the Highland Park shooter used to fire nearly 90 rounds into a crowd--is what some gun manufacturers want to sell you as the epitome of American freedom & independence."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 10, 2022
Tweet - "Joined @FoxNewsSunday this morning to discuss the Highland Park shooting and gun safety reform. The bottom line is this: there are millions of military-style assault weapons in America. The gun lobby has made a lot of money as a result. But it has not made us safer."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 8, 2022
Tweet - "In 2020-21, >1M NICS background checks were incomplete after 3 business days; then guns could be legally sold. It's how the Emanuel AME shooter got a gun. My bill to close this loophole passed the House. The Senate must send it to the President's desk."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
July 7, 2022
Tweet - "Just stop selling--and making money off of--assault weapons. Full stop. The killer in Highland Park had a lot of guns. He brought the one that would kill the most people."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar
July 7, 2022
Tweet - "Maryland deserves gun safety measures that will save lives. I joined my colleagues in responding to the suspension of Maryland's "Good and Substantial Reason' standard for concealed carry permits."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
July 7, 2022
Tweet - "Gun violence has a deadly hold on our nation. The Gun Violence Archive has counted over 300 mass shootings this year--including the horrifying tragedy in Highland Park. I recently spoke with @RepLucyMcBath about the fight to end this epidemic."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
July 6, 2022
Tweet - "Americans can no longer go to parades, school, or the grocery store without fear of being shot. For too long, the gun lobby has been allowed to glorify, advertise, and sell weapons of war to civilians. These weapons are killing our kids and devastating our communities."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 6, 2022
Tweet - "Military-style assault weapons have no place on the streets of America. And neither do the high-capacity magazines that enable these weapons to slaughter as many children in their classroom, grandmothers in the grocery store, and families at a parade as possible."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 6, 2022
Tweet - "After another holiday marred by gun violence, I'm thinking about the values of the Fourth of July and how I'm protecting them in the Senate. I believe in freedom from fear in public spaces. Freedom to choose. Freedom to love. I will continue to fight for these freedoms and more."
Sen. Mark Warner
July 5, 2022

MARYLAND CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION MEMBERS RELEASE STATEMENT ON SUSPENSION OF STATE'S "GOOD AND SUBSTANTIAL REASON' STANDARD FOR CONCEALED CARRY PERMITS
Sen. Chris Van Hollen

Tweet - "The images and firsthand accounts emerging from Highland Park, Illinois are gut-wrenching. What should have been a joyous day of celebration was shattered by a hateful act of gun violence. Congress must do more to protect our communities."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
July 5, 2022

Rep. Rashida Tlaib

Maryland Congressional Delegation Members Release Statement on Suspension of State's "Good and Substantial Reason' Standard for Concealed Carry Permits
Rep. Jamie Raskin
July 5, 2022
Tweet - "No parent or grandparent should ever have to think twice about bringing their children to a parade on the 4th of July. What happened yesterday in Highland Park is a call to action -- our country has been flooded with 400 million firearms without adequate safety or regulation."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 5, 2022
McBath Statement on Highland Park Shooting
Rep. Lucy McBath
July 4, 2022
Tweet - "I spoke to Mayor @NancyRotering of Highland Park. Unimaginable horror at this mass shooting. Details are hard to even repeat. My office is in touch with law enforcement agencies searching for the suspected shooter. At least six dead and 24 wounded at this point. Praying for all."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 4, 2022
Tweet - "The horrific mass shooting at the 4th of July parade in Highland Park is terrifying, and just heartbreaking. More innocent lives terrorized and taken away by the tragedy of gun violence."
Sen. Tammy Baldwin
July 4, 2022
Tweet - "Thanks to tireless work of law enforcement officers, the suspected shooter has been apprehended--grateful to the first responders who showed heroism in the face of unspeakable tragedy. I'll ensure the fed government continues to provide support & assistance in the days to come."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 4, 2022
Tweet - "I'm horrified to see the violence in Illinois, particularly on what should be a day of celebration. Gun violence tears apart communities, and I remain committed to seeking legislation and solutions that address it."
Sen. Mark Warner
July 4, 2022
Tweet - "I am devastated to hear about the mass shooting earlier today at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois. My prayers are with the victims and their families. I will continue to monitor this situation as it develops."
