I have listened to the immeasurable pain of family members devastated from losing a loved one from gun violence. I have heard countless cries of community members who worry that a straybullet will penetrate the windows of their homes and take an innocent life. I have offered numerous thoughts and prayers.My constituents are smart. They know that laws alone cannot stop every act of bloodshed. They know that doing right starts at home and starts with a strong family foundation and value system.
Currently, trigger activators are only illegal under federal law, which means only federal prosecutors can charge individuals for selling or possessing these devices. The urgency to pass this bill took on even more personal significance when I was recently approached after a neighborhood meeting in my district by a mother who lost her son to gun violence. Witnesses say that the gun was illegally altered with a “Glock switch” and make it that much easier to kill her son.
But it is not mutually exclusive: we can work towards individual responsibility while also doing our moral duty as lawmakers to make a difference.
