Issue Position: Keeping Citizens Safe

Issue Position

Where responsible gun owners and gun control advocates agree is on the need for tighter restrictions to keep assault weapons out of the hands of those who intend to do harm to others. Sadly, their shared voices are silenced by lobbyists and politicians who claim massacres at churches, schools, concerts, nightclubs, and workplaces are solely a mental health issue, failing to mention the near absence of mass shootings in nations with tighter gun laws and, very likely, similar instances of mental illness.
My campaign is based on compromise and finding common ground, and I submit the common ground is already there. By an overwhelming majority, Americans want their elected officials to act. Yet because career politicians willfully allow lobbyists to muddy the waters, it is up to citizens to take control of the conversation. As in the redrawing of gerrymandered districts and restoration of voting rights, I will pursue a referendum that directs government to address this crisis.
