Introducing a Bill to Combat Gun Violence
January 17, 2019In Connecticut, gun violence ranks as the second leading cause of death to children and teens; alongside Senator Will Haskell, we have proposed a bill hoping to combat these numbers in the future.
This is a public health crisis. Connecticut ranks 5th in the country for having the lowest rate of gun deaths because we have been a leader on bold public policy. But, even one preventable death is too many. We must continue to take the lead in order to eliminate gun violence.
