Rep. Katie Porter looks to hold gun manufacturers accountable
"LOS ANGELES — Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine) has become known for asking simple but direct questions during congressional hearings.
She also has a penchant for using props, most notably a whiteboard. These are all part of Porter’s strategy to help inform the public.
Porter compares gun manufacturers to car manufacturers during the implementation of seatbelts. Congress recently passed laws that will raise the age for people to purchase guns to 21 and ban high-capacity magazines
Porter sat down with "Inside the Issues" host Alex Cohen to discuss the need for legislation to prevent gun violence and hold gun manufacturers accountable for their roles in mass shootings and other gun-related deaths.
At a congressional hearing, Porter questioned the CEO of Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. over the lack of safety mechanisms put in place on the guns they manufacture. She highlighted how iPhones have more safety protocols than semiautomatic weapons.
“This technology we’re talking about with fingerprint scanning not only has been used on devices, everyday devices like our phone, but does exist and is used in some weapons. There’s been research showing that this will help make sure that guns don’t fall into the hands of people other than their lawful users.""
