Issue Position: Gun Violence

Issue Position

Gun violence has become a public health crisis in our country. Every single day, lives are needlessly taken by criminals who should not have access to firearms. Let me be clear -- I am a gun owner. My husband, Dave, is a law enforcement officer. I support the 2nd Amendment and believe that law-abiding citizens should not have their rights infringed. However, it is imperative that we take steps to address gun violence by expanding background checks, limiting modifications like silencers and extended magazines, and ensuring domestic abusers and violent criminals aren't able to have access to deadly weapons. So many elected officials have failed to address gun violence beyond "thoughts and prayers." We need to take action. We need votes and laws.
