Issue Position: Gun Safety

Issue Position

In the wake of a seemingly endless number of mass shootings, particularly in our schools, we must take meaningful steps to keep our communities safe. We cannot continue forcing our students to be brave and protect themselves, rather we, as legislators, must pass common sense gun safety measures. I support safe storage laws to keep firearms out of the hands of children and unauthorized users. I also support implementing a 72-hour waiting period between when a gun is purchased and when it is received.

As your Senator I have:

Cosponsored & passed the creation of an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) as a mechanism for a court judge to remove firearms from an individual deemed to be at risk to themselves or others.
Repeatedly voted against Republican efforts to roll back Colorado's universal background check laws
