Gun Violence Prevention
Our societal issue with gun violence has nothing to do with the vast majority of guns Minnesotans own. I agree with the majority of Americans who support a ban on assault weapons. I also agree with the over 90% of Americans who favor background checks for any gun purchase made, checks that include criminal history and relevant mental health history. We should also expect anyone who owns a gun to have had some training, just like we expect drivers to be properly trained. The vast majority of gun owners are not only responsible but do not own guns capable of mass shootings. Common-sense gun laws are just that: common-sense.
