Issue Position: End the American Gun Violence Epidemic

Issue Position

Jake commanded an infantry platoon in Afghanistan and special operations in Panama. He slept, ate, trained, and patrolled with an assault weapon for four years. Those are not the "arms' that our Founders had in mind when they wrote the Second Amendment 229 years ago. The American gun violence epidemic is one that plagues our schools, our grocery stores, our places of worship, our public squares -- and disproportionately affects minority communities.

In Congress, Jake will take on the NRA and will fight to make common-sense gun legislation a reality, including: assault-weapon buybacks, mandatory liability insurance for all weapons, Red Flag laws, and universal background checks. Jake's policy proposals have earned him a 2020 Gun Sense Candidate distinction from Moms Demand Action. Jake is proud to stand with a coalition of moms, students, veterans, community leaders, and public health officials to confront the gun lobby and end the American gun violence pandemic.
