Issue Position: Preventing Gun Violence

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Guns

It is absolutely horrifying that we have allowed partisan politics and the interests of the gun lobby to come before our children's lives. We are better than this.

I support the Second Amendment. And I believe that law-abiding citizens should not be denied the right to own a firearm.

Congress, though, has a responsibility to act. We need to pass universal background checks, a ban on bump-stocks, which allow individuals to convert firearms into fully automatic weapons, and a ban on high capacity magazines and military-style assault weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest period of time.
