"Now more than ever, the US-Israel special relationship is critical to the stability of the Middle East and our mutual security. I was glad to join a bipartisan delegation to visit Israel and better understand the successes and challenges in the region." 1
"It’s time we pursue common-sense reforms that will keep our neighbors and family members safe. We need to implement mandatory background checks for all gun buyers, including online, at gun shows, and even for 3-D printed guns. We need to prevent all convicted domestic abusers from buying guns and once-and-for-all close the so-called “boyfriend loophole.” And we need to ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines, ban the sale of guns to violent criminals and the mentally ill, and ensure that every gun-buyer is subject to an appropriate waiting period for all purchases." 2
