Fighting to Keep Guns Off Our Streets

Fighting to Keep Guns Off Our Streets

A former U.S. Attorney appointed by Bill Clinton and Rhode Island's Attorney General, Sheldon Whitehouse has successfully fought for tough new gun control legislation that strengthened penalties for armed criminals and prosecuted members of the Rhode Island Latin Kings, a violent criminal gang that committed murder, drug dealing, assault, and racketeering. In the U.S. Senate, Whitehouse will work for common-sense solutions that help local law enforcement fight gun crime and to hold irresponsible gun makers and dealers accountable for their actions.

"I've prosecuted gun crimes, and I've seen first-hand the differences that resources and cooperation can make in our fight to get guns off our streets. Congress needs to take decisive action to make sure that local law enforcement has the tools it needs to make our neighborhoods safe."
- Sheldon Whitehouse
