SAVE We the People from Gun Violence

Enhance Gun Safety by banning all assault weapons, semi automatics and large capacity ammunition feeding devices while creating penalties and buyback for assault weapons. Gun ownership should be a privilege not a right.

Why is this important?

As the daughter and granddaughter of small business gun owners, I grew up with handguns and rifles and a healthy respect for their potential danger. We were not even allowed as children to point a stick at another person, much less a weapon.

For our children's sake, we must be concerned about the proliferation of assault weapons and semi-automatics and gun violence in our society. It is time to ban these types of guns and require strict background checks and regulation of any gun ownerships. Our right to bear arms should not forfeit our public trust and safety.
