Frank Pallone, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 6th district since 1988, has been vocal on various issues through his social media presence. His recent tweets touch upon significant topics such as internet safety, gun regulations, and corporate influence in firearm sales.

On March 26, 2025, Pallone addressed concerns about internet safety and consumer privacy in relation to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). He stated: "Republicans claim to care about internet safety and consumers’ privacy, yet they stay silent about Trump’s unlawful attempt to fire FTC commissioners: the top cops on this beat. A gutted FTC makes us all less safe online."

Later that day, he expressed his stance on gun control measures. Pallone tweeted: "Regulations for ghost guns are commonsense. These are lethal weapons that can be easily purchased and assembled at home. No one should have unfettered access to them. This is a big win, but we have to go further. Universal background checks for ALL guns would be a good start."

In another post made on March 26, Pallone criticized Donald Trump Jr.'s involvement with GrabAGun, a company promoting AR-15 rifles among younger generations. He remarked: "Don Jr. just joined the board of GrabAGun—a company pushing AR-15s, the weapon used in countless school shootings, to Gen Z. This time Junior’s constant profiteering off his Dad’s name will get kids killed."
