I implore my fellow Republicans and gun owners to heed my perspective on the subject of gun access laws.
As a native of the City of Harrisburg, I have lived and was raised in neighborhoods that have been rife with crime and heavily impacted by gun violence. Not only have I lost three very close friends to gun violence , I also narrowly escaped succumbing to the very same fate myself as I was the victim of a robbery and shot three times in the Uptown area of Harrisburg in 2006.
Given these facts, it would be foolish of us not address the issue of gun access in a way that still preserves the essence of the 2nd Amendment, while also taking into account that there are glaring gaps in our existing laws that unintentionally fuel the proliferation of crime guns in our communities. That’s why I support the Common Agenda to End Gun Violence. It requires people to secure their firearms, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
And it gives close family and law enforcement a life-saving tool if someone is at imminent risk of ending their lives or others. Extreme Risk Protection Orders have cut suicide in 20 states and can do so here.
