Today, after a reported deadly shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, Sean Casten, Congressman-elect for Illinois’ Sixth Congressional District released the following statement:

“My heart goes out to all of the families who have lost loved ones in this tragic shooting. Weapons designed to kill large numbers of people quickly should not be on our streets, period. It is long past time that Congress implement the will of the people and pass common-sense gun safety measures.”
