Shocking but true -- 100-round double-drum magazines are legal in WA. BOB FERGUSON.

David, Did you know that the same double-drum 100-round magazine used by the mass murderer in Dayton to kill 9 individuals and wound 26 more in just thirty seconds is legal to purchase and own in Washington state? I'm working to change that.  As the people’s lawyer, I take my job to protect the people of our state seriously. That means doing what’s right, regardless of political threats or special interests. That means taking on issues that some people think are too controversial, like gun safety. We owe it to our children, to the survivors of gun violence, and to the families of those who have been killed to do better.     I’m proud of the progress we have made in Washington state. My legal team beat the NRA in court and successfully defended our state’s universal background check law. We proposed the legislation that became I-1639, which I was proud to support. We beat President Trump in court and blocked the widespread dissemination of 3D-printed gun files. We helped pass legislation to ban undetectable “ghost guns” in Washington state. But I’m frustrated with our state's shortcomings. Three years ago, I became the first statewide elected official to propose a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. For three years, I’ve worked closely with dedicated legislators and community leaders to propose legislation to ban the sale and ownership of that same double-drum 100-round magazine used in Dayton to kill 9 individuals in just thirty seconds-- but we haven’t moved it through the legislature. It is past time that our elected leaders take action for the safety of our communities. I’ve made a promise to keep proposing this legislation until it passes. In the wake of the mass shootings we’ve seen 255 times this year alone, it’s more important than ever to commit ourselves to the mission of reducing gun violence.  Like you, I am devastated to see the images and hear the stories from Dayton and El Paso. That's why I won’t stop fighting -- not in the face of political attacks or lack of action from our elected officials. I will keep working for common-sense reforms as long as I am in office. Bob

Mitch McConnell must immediately bring the Senate back in session to pass gun safety legislation. JENNIFER WEXTON.

David, yesterday I stood outside NRA headquarters alongside hundreds of fellow Virginians to honor the victims of gun violence this past weekend and demand immediate action. I had a simple message: The House passed a universal background checks bill months ago. Mitch McConnell has the power to bring it to a vote in the Senate but refuses to do so. He needs to act now to prevent the bloodshed that is happening across our country. The only way to make him act is for us to apply public pressure like never before. We need to all raise our voices, and not let up. Will you sign my petition right now to demand that McConnell bring the Senate back in session and allow a vote on universal background checks? ADD YOUR NAME ➞ Our children are going to ask us where we stood and what we did when our schools, shopping malls, restaurants, and workplaces were being ripped apart by senseless gun violence. For many politicians like Mitch McConnell, the answer is going to be shameful. There are no excuses to value the gun lobby over the lives of our communities. Thoughts and prayers from the cowards who’ve blocked gun safety legislation won’t cut it this time. So I need you to stand with me to demand a special Senate session and a vote on universal background checks. Add your name now to make sure that Mitch McConnell hears us. Thank you, Jennifer Rep. Jennifer Wexton proudly serves the 10th District of Virginia. She's fighting to create a strong economy, ensure equality for all, and invest in a better future for America. CONTRIBUTE
