Gun Control

Since it is so easy to traffic guns from state to state, this is largely a federal matter, but there are a couple of issues that need attention. One is that those who have a protection order against them in a domestic violence situation are no longer permitted to buy a gun for the duration , but there is no provision in State Law for guns they already possess be removed from them for safe keeping. I want to change that.
Another issue is that there was a bill in the legislature to require gun owners who lose their guns or have them stolen to report it to the police. Unless you are in the habit of losing guns, this is perhaps once in a lifetime experience and so hardly an onerous requirement. However my opponent voted against it. Apparently for some, a stellar rating with the NRA is important. For me I would seek only one stellar rating, and that is from the citizens of the 67th district
