In response to the onslaught of mass shootings across the nation, House Democrats took action and voted to pass the Protecting Our Kids Act. Jeremy Shaffer continues to hide from Pennsylvania voters on how he would have voted on a bill to:
-
Raise the age to purchase a semi-automatic weapon from 18 to 21;
-
Ban the sale of large capacity magazines;
-
Crack down gun trafficking and straw purchases;
-
Outlaw bump stocks, which effectively turn semiautomatic weapons into machine guns – what was used in the 2017 Las Vegas massacre;
-
Outlaw ghost guns, which lack traceable serial numbers and have increasingly been used in violent crimes;
-
And promote the safe storage of firearms through precautionary measures.
NRA-endorsed Jeremy Shaffer, who contributed thousands of dollars to an extremist gun group that opposes all gun safety bills, can’t be trusted to choose public safety over the gun lobby.
DCCC spokesperson James Singer:
“Jeremy Shaffer would rather cower to the gun lobby and extremism than protect our children and communities from senseless acts of gun violence.”
