Our Gun Violence Reduction Agenda
Every day we have arguments about where to point the finger for the cause of gun violence. Yet we miss the most important fact, and that's the fact that we lose innocent lives every day. We need to balance the rights of individuals with the safety of the general public. We must enforce current laws and implement legislation in areas we are lacking. Whether a mass shooting or a steady stream of gun-related deaths in our neighborhoods, we are starting to become numb to them. We cannot delay, we must take vigorous action to handle the range of gun violence issues plaguing our communities.

Encourage repeal of "Stand Your Ground" laws
