Gun Control Lobbyist Expresses Outrage During Press Update on Nashville Shooting

During a press update on the recent Nashville shooting, a gun control lobbyist expressed her outrage and frustration over the persistent issue of gun violence in the United States. The lobbyist, who has been lobbying in Washington DC since surviving a mass shooting in July, has met with over 130 lawmakers to push for gun safety legislation. She questioned how it is still possible for children to die due to gun violence, which has become the leading cause of death for both children and teens, surpassing car accidents. The lobbyist emphasized that loose gun laws contribute to the proliferation of assault weapons, which in turn fuels the border crisis and drug-related deaths. She highlighted the urgency for lawmakers to pass gun safety legislation, including storage laws, to prevent children from accessing unsecured weapons
