U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, this week joined 122 colleagues in Congress in asking U.S. House Republicans to work with Democrats to fight gun violence. The local congresswoman is a member of the U.S. House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, according to a Jan. 30 release from her office. In a letter to U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, House Democrats underscored gun violence statistics in requesting legislation to further prevent gun violence. “It is not credible to address the gun violence epidemic without working to prevent people who are a danger to themselves or others from accessing firearms. We again ask you to work with Democrats on any policies to end the gun violence epidemic.”
