People with access to guns who are a risk to themselves/others→Extreme Risk Protection Orders These orders are proven policy. They've been utilized by states—including CT—to help avert thousands of tragedies. It's time to implement these commonsense measures nationally. 5/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Domestic Abusers with Guns→Lori Jackson Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act & Violence Against Women Act Domestic abuse is 5x more likely to turn deadly when a gun is available. We need to keep guns out of the hands of abusers & improve support & care for survivors. 4/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ghost Guns→Untraceable Firearms Act Access to a kit & 3D printer shouldn't be the only barrier stopping people from making a weapon. The new Admin can also direct ATF to classify ghost gun components as firearms—subjecting them to the same legal requirements as other guns. 3/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Charleston Loophole→Background Check Completion Act No check, no sale should be the rule so dangerous people can’t skirt background checks & make illegal gun purchases. Until we pass this legislation, the Biden Admin can work with DOJ to improve the notification process. 2/7 — PolitiTweet.org

The new Congress & Biden Admin have a historic opportunity to take action on gun violence prevention. Building on the hard work & dedication of survivors, young people, activists & members of Congress, we have legislative & executive solutions that are ready to go on day one. 1/7 — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to working with new leadership at the VA to repair the damage that Secretary Wilkie & President Trump have inflicted on the VA & veterans—especially women, LGBTQ+, & minority veterans—over the past 4 years. — PolitiTweet.org

The VA is long overdue for a reckoning on these issues—our recently passed legislative package takes a good first step by mandating an anti-harassment & anti-sexual assault policy at the VA & expanding health services & resources for survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Failing to confront this crisis of sexual or gender harassment is bad enough—actively working to undermine a survivor seeking simple accountability is despicable beyond words. — PolitiTweet.org

For women who work at the VA or seek care there, Andrea Goldstein’s experience is all too familiar. Flagrant disregard for an epidemic of misogyny, harassment, & assault clearly infected the most senior staff at the VA, including Secretary Wilkie. https://t.co/RdNWptZDkE — PolitiTweet.org

The VA top management implicated in this report should resign or be removed right away—holding accountable leaders responsible for this abuse. This IG report is deeply disturbing—& for thousands of women veterans, not at all surprising. https://t.co/01tFay1JJD — PolitiTweet.org
