This is what DC used to mean to me-family vacations
Now I spend my time in DC fighting to protect children
I have spoken to almost every Democratic Senator and Representative and over 130 Republican Congresspeople about Ethan’s Law.

Unsecured guns=injury/death
Thank you Michigan for holding the negligent gun owner accountable.
No more free passes for negligent gun owners
Pass Ethan’s Law nationally so children have a chance to grow up.

My heart breaks for the Parkland families today. It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. #preventable #GVP #parkland 💔

Today, February 6, is also the birthday of PFC Michael Scott Pearson. He would be 37 but died at Ft Hood at only 22. Michael loved playing the guitar, enjoyed martial arts, and was a role model for his nieces, nephews, and friends.
Oregon's firearm storage law must be strengthened. If the Oxford HS shooting happened in Oregon, the gun owner would only face a $2000 fine and the possibility of a civil lawsuit. They would face no criminal charges and still be allowed to own firearms.
That is not justice.
