Representative Jamie Raskin is a passionate critic of our nation’s lax gun laws and one of the most prominent gun safety champions on Capitol Hill. He vehemently opposes the political stranglehold that the NRA has over members of Congress and is working diligently to address the horrific gun violence epidemic engulfing America. Prior to his time in Congress, Representative Raskin was a three-term state senator in Maryland where he worked to introduce and pass one of the most comprehensive state gun safety laws in the nation, which banned the sale of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, required fingerprint licensing, instituted a universal violent criminal background check on all gun purchases, and made it a crime to fail to report a lost or stolen gun within 48 hours.
In Congress, Representative Raskin serves as a member of the House Judiciary Committee and continues to advocate for the commonsense gun reforms which commanding majorities of Americans support. He has introduced legislation to deter the transfer of firearms to dangerous individuals and to stop the transfer of assault-style weapons. He has also championed closing the private gun show and internet sales loopholes, banning the home manufacture of “ghost guns,” and imposing a mandatory process for those convicted of abuse to relinquish their firearms upon conviction. He is proud to have received an F rating from the NRA for championing the need for background checks on all gun purchases and is passionate about bringing the essential features of the commonsense Maryland law he helped craft into action at the federal level.
Throughout his career, Representative Jamie Raskin has served the people of Maryland with honor, and voters must send him back to Washington DC this fall to continue his lifesaving work to pass desperately needed gun safety laws. He is part of a new generation of leaders who will be responsible for ending gun violence in America once and for all, and we need his voice in Congress to continue shielding future generations of Marylanders from senseless harm.
