There are many organizations working very hard to pass legislation that builds off of what conservative Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger stated in this post. Two of the most prominent are the organization led by Gabby Giffords – www.Giffords.org and Sandy Hook Promise – https://lnkd.in/dzhwiV3W.
I am a parent and grandparent and am scared to death that one of them will be killed by someone with a gun. Please do what you can with your elected officials and your money and influence with your network to support what a conservative Chief Justice stated as fact.
