RESPONSIBLE GUN SAFETY
Just as we have swiftly eliminated threats to our safety in the past, we must do so to protect our children and friends now. We cannot blame responsible gun owners for the horrific crimes of a select few. Yet, we know that we must do more so that we can prevent some of these heinous acts from occurring again. There is no simple solution, however, with a combination of actions we can make sure that we uphold the spirit of our Constitutional right while also honoring our responsibility to protect our fellow citizens.
MY PRIORITIES:
Universal background checks
Close loopholes that criminals use to obtain weapons illegally
Support appropriate Emergency Risk Protection Orders
Support gun licenses that are not an increased burden on responsible gun owners
Support voluntary gun buyback programs
Increase research over a new and growing homemade gun market, including weapons produced through emerging technologies such as 3D printers
Support increased oversight over the technology and mechanisms in weapons
