Gun Safety
We’re only halfway through the year, but already, gunmen have murdered people–and children–with mass shootings in an elementary school, grocery store, places of worship, and other “safe” spaces where Americans go about their daily lives. Change is long overdue.
The second amendment does not imply that all weapons should be available to all people. I support a ban on assault weapons, automatic firearms, silencers, explosive ordnance, and other NFA weapons. We must also keep guns away from people who pose a real threat to themselves or others. In Lansing, I will advocate for widely supported gun safety laws like universal background checks, safe storage mandates, and “red flag” laws that allow police to temporarily remove guns from people who pose an immediate risk to themselves or others. Moms Demand Action has recognized my commitment to advocate for better gun laws.
