On October 1, we remembered the 8th anniversary of the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting — a tragedy that took 58 lives and left an indelible mark on Las Vegas, Nevada, and the nation. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been nearly 4,000 mass shootings in the United States since October 1 — nearly two every single day.

Gun violence has touched communities across Nevada and across our country. We cannot allow ourselves to grow numb, and we cannot remain silent. Together, we must demand action to keep Nevada families safe.
