ENDORSED

Since his election in 2000, Representative Adam Schiff has worked to bring about transformational, progressive change—especially when it comes to protecting Californians from senseless gun violence. As the chairman of the powerful House Intelligence Committee, he knows the risks America’s weak gun laws pose to our national security, and he’s fought tirelessly throughout his career to strengthen firearms regulations and to keep his constituents safe.
In 2005, Congress passed a dangerous NRA-backed bill called the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which essentially gave the gun industry a broad immunity from civil liability that no other industry enjoys. Horrified by the reality that the loved ones of those killed by gun violence were left with little to no legal recourse to take on the gun industry, Representative Schiff first introduced the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Actin 2013. This legislation would repeal PLCAA and hold gun manufacturers accountable. On July 20, 2022, the House Judiciary Committee passed this lifesaving bill out of committee, and it will now head to the House floor—where Representative Schiff will continue to fight tirelessly to make it law.
In Congress, Representative Schiff has made the passage of a broad range of commonsense gun safety legislation a top priority. He is an original co-sponsor of theBipartisan Background Checks Act, which would require a background check for every gun sale or transfer, and he supports legislation to fund and expand research into the root causes of gun violence. He also believes we should pass legislation to trace and prosecute straw purchasers and gun traffickers, ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and increase resources for state and local law enforcement to quickly alert communities to deadly threats.
The fight to end gun violence is far from over, and we need to maintain a strong gun safety majority in the US House if we want meaningful progress to continue in 2023. Representative Adam Schiff will never stop fighting for commonsense solutions to combat America’s epidemic of gun violence, and it is crucial that he is reelected this fall. With him helping to lead the way, a safer future for Southern Californians, and all Americans, is possible.
