On Gun Control: Strengthen our nation's gun safety laws and regulations

While I would never support denying responsible, law-abiding citizens their right to own a gun, I do support markedly strengthening our nation's gun safety laws and regulations.

Everything that can be done--from expanded mental health services, stricter gun crime sentencing, and increased community policing to waiting periods, universal background checks, and assault weapons bans--should be done to reduce gun related deaths, injuries, and crime in the United States.
