2020 LA Senatorial race: on Gun Control


Adrian Perkins: Urge Senate to act on gun safety legislation

More than 200 mayors are urging the Senate to return to the Capitol to act on gun safety legislation amid criticism that Congress is failing to respond to back-to-back shootings that left 31 people dead. Four mayors from Louisiana signed the letter: LaToya Cantrell (New Orleans), Sharon Weston Broome (Baton Rouge), Jamie Mayo (Monroe) and Adrian Perkins (Shreveport).

Adrian Perkins: Focus on reducing number of illegal guns in city

Perkins met with law enforcement leaders and members of the city council to talk about gun violence in Shreveport. The primary focus was public safety, but specifically they focused on reducing the number of illegal guns. This topic was already on the mayor's radar because of a general spike in crime that normally happens over the summer. Perkins and Caddo Parish [Sheriff] Steve Prator came up with strategies to reduce gun violence.

Bill Cassidy: Our 2nd Amendment freedom is in danger

Dr. Cassidy is proud to have an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association. As the Sportsman's Paradise, Bill will fight to ensure that Louisiana will not surrender its right to practice these traditions, nor will it surrender the right of its citizens to defend themselves. Under the agenda of President Obama and his liberal allies in Congress, our 2nd Amendment freedom is in danger.
