Issue Position: Gun Violence Prevention

Issue Position

My heart breaks for families who have lost a loved one to gun violence. I never worried about my children when they went to school. Now, I fear for the safety of my grandchildren. I refuse to wait for New Hampshire to suffer through a tragic school shooting. We can and must do better than this. As governor, I will work to:

Pass universal background checks;
Keep children and domestic abusers from getting guns;
Keep military-style weapons off our streets;
Reinstate the requirement of a permit to carry a concealed weapon;
Pass a red flag law;
Institute a 48-hour waiting period for all gun purchases; and
Support local communities' decision to ensure the safety of their residents
It is our responsibility to prevent senseless gun deaths and to ensure every child feels safe in a New Hampshire classroom.
