Over the past few weeks, we’ve been discussing gun violence in America. And in just that short period of time, our country has been rocked by another mass shooting at a high school and a second alleged assassination attempt on a former president. It is clear that gun violence is a nonpartisan issue — and one that threatens us all.
So how do we make our families and communities safer? Experts have shown that there are ways to reduce gun violence: requiring background checks on all gun sales; promoting the secure storage of guns; allowing for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (also known as Red Flag Laws); keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and violent offenders; and supporting programs for mental health and community violence intervention. We just need politicians who are willing to turn these common sense solutions into laws!
