Protect the Second Amendment & Second Graders
“Do something.”
That was the plea of parents who lost their children in Parkland. That was the plea of parents who lost their children in Uvalde. That was the plea of parents who lost their children in Columbine, in Oxford, at Sandy Hook and in countless other tragedies with countless other victims. The American Dream of the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is no longer the same. With mass shootings occurring on almost a daily basis in the United States, Gen-Z’s right to live and grow old is under attack.
An epidemic of gun violence has gripped our nation. While bearing arms is a right enshrined in our Constitution, owning a gun is still a major responsibility. In 2022 alone, there were 647 mass shootings, 40,000 people slain, and over 400 million weapons in circulation. It’s past time that we offer more than thoughts and prayers. An April 2023 Fox News poll indicates that over 87% of Americans are in favor of common-sense gun reform. We can save the Second Amendment while also saving student lives, preventing suicides, and curbing gun violence. We must:
- Expand background checks & end the “Charleston Loophole”.
- Close the “Gun Show” and “Internet Sale” Loophole.
- Pass national “red flag” laws.
- Ban domestic abusers, the severely mentally ill, and violent criminals and terrorists from purchasing firearms.
- Continue the work of the Biden-Harris Administration’s newly-established Office for Gun Violence Prevention.
- Invest in fingerprint sensors & other smart technologies for firearms.
- Take on corrupt gun lobby special interests like the NRA.
