Issue Position: Pass Common Sense Gun Laws

Issue Position

We all agree that our children should be safe when they go to school, that we should be safe at the movie theater or concert hall, and that no one should lose a loved one to suicide. It's past time for discussion; it's time to take on the problem of gun violence head on. Turning our schools into prisons has not been the answer - we need to fund behavioral health services to support children who are at risk, including those on both sides of bullying behavior. We must keep guns out of the hands of children with strong safety standards, and we must keep military-grade weapons out of the hands of civilians, and we must do this in a way that respects Rhode Islanders' 2nd Amendment rights.
