Washington, D.C. - October 16, 2017 - (The Ponder News) -- Rep. Kihuen took part in a press conference to introduce the Keep Americans Safe Act, legislation that would prohibit the transfer, importation, or possession of magazines able to hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. The Congressman joined his colleagues from the Nevada Congressional delegation, as well as House members committed to ending gun violence that affects communities across the country.

“Last week, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history took place in the heart of the community where I grew up. We know that high-capacity magazines, which allow shooters to fire dozens of shots without having to reload, directly contributed to the deadliness of this horrific event. The American people are counting on us to take steps to reduce the tragic gun violence affecting communities across the country. That’s why I am proud to help introduce the Keep Americans Safe Act. Congress should take decisive action and pass this legislation to help prevent unnecessary loss of life caused by gun violence.”
