Pass reasonable gun laws requiring background checks for ordinary weapons, establishing gun-free school zones, and banning assault weapons; funding mental health services and non-violent conflict resolution programs.
Why is this important?
The level of gun violence today is intolerable. The recurrence of mass killings with semi-automatic weapons is intolerable. These are separate issues that require separate responses. But moving beyond passions and suspicion to enact reasonable legislation for the safety of our people, especially our children, is a must.
