  • Pass stronger laws to reduce gun violence
    According to PolitiFact.com, more Americans have died in gun-related deaths than in all U.S. wars since the Revolutionary War. The U.S. has the highest gun-related death rate of all developed countries! We must end this public health travesty.

  • Decriminalize marijuana: legalize medicinal usage
    The statistics and the facts are staggering: More than 40 people a day across the country die from prescription pain medication overdoses; more and more doctors are getting huge payouts from pharmaceutical companies to promote these drugs; and in the past 10 years, U.S. spending on prescription drugs rose 475 percent. The current count on people dying of marijuana overdose? ZERO. Let's give a truly safe drug a medicinal purpose.

  • Universal Background Checks for Firearms Transfers
    Gun related deaths are a national epidemic. Many people who are legally prohibited from owning a firearm can still purchase them through private sales and gun shows. Universal Background checks would reduce the number of sales to these people. A gun in the home is more like to be used on a family member or acquaintance than it is on a burglar or as a means of committing suicide. It is just too easy to lose your temper, pick up a gun and shoot someone dead.

  • Tougher Laws on Child Abuse and Animal Abuse
    Does not anyone realize that animal abuse and child abuse go hand and hand. A person who commits a crime against an innocent animal will do the same to an innocent child. I moved to KY from NH and am very appalled that child abuse is not an issue that is addressed here in KY. Animal and child abusers see a big welcome sign here in KY. Welcome the state where you can abuse a child and an animal and get away with it.

  • Universal background checks for ALL gun sales
    Self-explanatory. NO gun should be sold in the U.S. unless the buyer passes a universal background check, proving he/she is NOT a danger to anyone else, by having NO known mental illnesses, a protection from abuse order, or felony conviction.

  • Make concealed weapons Illegal
    No one, other than law enforcement and the military needs to carry a concealed weapon. If you have a legitimate need to carry a weapon there is no reason to hide it.

  • Appropriately Penalize Gun Assisted Crime
    The possession or use of a weapon in commission of a crime is always life-threatening, whether the weapon is fired or not. There must be a stiff penalty for this. Current laws do not make anyone think twice before using a gun to threaten or harm someone.

  • Outlaw Automatic and Semi-Automatic Weapons in Maine
    Weapons are a serious health and safety issue. Automatic and semi-automatic weapons are battlefield equipment designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible. Maine is not at war with itself or with anyone else. These weapons are no different than the plague or the black death. We are all repeatedly affected by this "disease" and need to eliminate it.
