Fund for victims and families of gun violence.
A fee will be levied on the sale of all fire-arms and ammunition. Monies collected from this fee will be set aside for the use of victims - though no fault of their own - of gun violence and their immediate families to help offset medical and, in tragic situations, funeral costs.
Why is this important?
This country's gun violence is far higher then anywhere else in the industrialized world. Innocent lives are shattered every day from illegal use of guns. As a resident of Colorado, with the recent Aurora theater shooting in mind - there is one victim that sustained a head wound resulting in tens of thousands of dollars of cost and with the victim and his family with no insurance - I suggest the following: This blight of gun violence is a threat to us all and I feel it's time for a fee to be assist to the sale of fire-arms and ammunition to be set aside for victims - though no fault of their own - of gun violence and their immediate families for medical and funeral costs of those with tragic ends.
