Yes to I-594: respect the victims of gun violence.
Voting yes on Initiative Measure No. 594 means saying yes to criminal and public safety background checks for gun sales. This practical initiative balances public safety with responsible gun ownership.
Why is this important?
In 2006, I was shot in the abdomen in my workplace by a deeply troubled young man. And I was lucky to have survived -- one of my coworkers did not. Since that fateful day, I have fought through twenty surgeries, a coma, and months and months of PTSD therapy.
This is why I support I-594. No one deserves the fatal and tragic consequences of random gun violence. I-594 will not prohibit law-abiding citizens from owning guns, but will serve to emphasize the importance of a responsible gun owner.
