It's simple, everyone deserves to live in a community free of gun violence.
Let us honor all victims who have fallen to gun violence and their loved ones with our people power action.
In light of the recent shooting in Maine, one of our members reached out and asked us to take community action around gun violence. Let us honor all victims who have fallen to gun violence and their loved ones with our people power action.
It's simple, everyone deserves to live in a community free of gun violence.
As champions for progress, we believe that everyone who is eligible should be allowed to own a gun.
Our state and federal laws need to be updated to define eligibility better:
- Require background checks on all gun sales and ammunition sales
- Have a red flag law
- Prevent domestic abusers from accessing guns
- Ban assault weapons
- Limit magazine capacity
- Ban bump stocks
- Require concealed carry permits
- Restrict open-carry
- Ban firearms in libraries, schools, and hospitals
- Have a waiting period
- Allow victims of gun violence to have their day in court and that gun manufacturers, sellers, and interest groups are not shielded from liability when acting with negligence and disregard for public safety.
