Bennet Condemns Evergreen High School Shooting and Calls on Congress to Act to Stop Gun Violence

Published | Video Starts at 12:56

After the massacre at Columbine, we closed the gun show loophole, which 90% of the American people support. After the tragedy in Aurora, we strengthened background checks in my state. In the wake of the shooting at Club Q, we raised the age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21. And this year, Governor Polis signed three common sense gun violence prevention laws restricting the sale of certain semi automatic firearms, requiring retailers to keep ammunition locked and setting age limits for gun shows. (12:56–13:06)
