We all deserve to feel safe in our schools, neighborhoods, and public spaces. That shouldn’t be a partisan statement—it’s just common sense. Here’s what I’ll push for:

• Comprehensive Background Checks: No more loopholes. If you’re buying a gun, you go through a background check—period.

• Mandatory Waiting Periods: These save lives. Waiting periods reduce suicides and prevent spur-of-the-moment violence.

• Mandatory Gun Safety Training: If we require training to drive a car, we should require it to own a firearm.

• Close Gun Show and Ghost Gun Loopholes: No untraceable weapons, no backdoor sales. Every purchase should follow the same rules.

We can protect the Second Amendment and still act to save lives. It's not either-or.
