3 yrs ago, 7 people were shot & killed, and 8 others were injured in Half-Moon Bay, CA. Days earlier, 11 people were shot and killed, and 9 were wounded in Monterey Park, CA, during a Lunar New Year festival.
These two tragedies remind us of the work that still needs to be done to end this crisis.

As part of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," Congress removed a longstanding tax on gun silencers.
That change took effect on January 1, and according to the NSSF, ATF processed approximately 150,000 applications that day — a 5,900% increase over the typical daily volume.
