In fact, Rep. Gabbard has declined to co-sponsor any common sense gun control legislation, including H.R.4269— the Assault Weapons Ban of 2015 — which is co-sponsored by 125 of Gabbard’s fellow Democrats. Here are the other nine gun bills that Gabbard has NOT supported:


H.R.4748—Imported Assault Weapons Ban of 2016
H.R.3926 — Gun Violence Research Act
H.R.3411 — Fix Gun Checks Act of 2015
H.R.2380 — Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2015
H.R.1745 — Support Assault Firearms Elimination and Reduction for our Streets Act
H.R.752 — Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act
H.R.226 — Keeping Guns from High Risk Individuals Act
H.R.225 — Firearm Safety Act of 2015
H.R.224 — To require the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service to submit to Congress an annual report on the effects of gun violence on public health.

Instead of soap-boxing about foreign wars, how about stopping the wars in our streets and public places?

She's done something many of us haven't. She's been on the battlefield protecting our rights. floriduck Jun 2016 #26
Good. But don't bash your own party's president on a right wing network that loves it when . . . brush Jun 2016 #29
I'm not sure how my post gave you such an impression. I just stated she was active military. floriduck Jun 2016 #30
Didn't you respond to my post about her bashing Obama on FOX? brush Jun 2016 #32
No I didn't mean to. I was just adding a statement about her military service. Sorry it got stuck floriduck Jun 2016 #34
Totally agree. Tulsi is from the Joe Lieberman-Zell Miller wing of the party. nt Atticus Jun 2016 #28
