Imagine a sensational headline that said: "'Shameful' automakers Refuse To Take Responsibility for Drunk Driving Deaths"

Vote blue to stop GQP from blocking gun safety laws.

It's not the manufacturer's fault when people missuse their products.

firearms perform as expected

hard to sue based on faulty design

I want this on record: "I want Porter to run against Cheney next election 2024."

"Shameful conduct for a leader of a corporation." So I guess we don't have to ask which party these CEOs all support and sponsor.

Great idea about not allowing gun manufacturers with a government contract to sell guns to the public. Thank you!

That fingerprint safety shouldn't be a matter of what the customers are interested in. How many car owners have ever marched, petitioned, lobbied or fought to get crumple zones, seat belts, brake lights, or air bags? That answer would be none. Yet, they still buy the cars with all of those safety features. Gun-humpers will too.

I like that one about the government contract stipulation! Good one Mr. O'Donnell!

Katie always brings the receipts! Look up "due diligence" in the dictionary, there's her picture! 🤩

Thanks for interviewing Rep Porter! She’s is what a real patriot looks and sounds like. Bless her and keep her safe.

This is the cigarette industry 101 all over again.

[downhillskier]

There is already finger print technology for guns but the manufacturers DO NOT want to implement that technology in to their guns!

Years ago my whole family were Democrats, until they started advocating for gun control and banning our guns. The whole south used to be Democrat, and southern Democrats were the party's biggest voting block. They're losing their party by embracing these unpopular things like gun control and abortion.

Katie Porter is the real deal ...I just love her so much. She's a rock star imho.

I love Katie Porter!!

I hope she runs for POTUS someday!!

[Potomacstud]

Katie Porter is my reference point of what a conscientious policy makers should be, you don't find her wasting time on issues that serves no constructive relevance to the average Americans .. all her concerns pertains to daily bread and butter struggles of the average American

Behind you 100 percent. Great work Katie
