push for gun laws
Push for gun laws.
Occurrences
U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks (Both D-Md.) joined the Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and others in the bicameral reintroduction of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025.
Evidence
Sen. Alsobrooks and Sen. Warnock led a bicameral oversight effort demanding DOJ reverse policy changes that were weakening gun violence prevention efforts and leaving Americans less safe.
The Maryland delegation said Alsobrooks and others fought to deliver $1,184,000 in FY2026 federal funding to support Baltimore's gun violence reduction program.
Assessments
Alsobrooks has shown federal action on gun-violence prevention as a U.S. Senator, including joining oversight pressure on DOJ gun-safety policy and helping pursue FY2026 funding for Baltimore gun-violence reduction. However, the evidence does not show that she wrote, sponsored, materially advanced, or helped enact a federal gun law. Because the promise was to push for gun laws, these actions count as meaningful related effort but not full delivery of enacted gun-law outcomes.
