18 Senators Introduce ‘Keep Americans Safe Act’ in Wake of Las Vegas Shooting
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) was joined by 18 Senate colleagues in introducing the Keep Americans Safe Act, legislation banning the importation, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition and are designed for shooting en masse.
In what is now the deadliest mass shooting in American history, 59 people were killed and 527 injured after a gunman opened fire on Las Vegas concert-goers. According to investigators, the alleged shooter was in possession of more than 23 firearms, including several high-powered assault rifles, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
