The recent shootings in Atlanta and Boulder remind us that COVID-19 hasn’t stopped the crisis of gun violence.
At the state or federal level, we must act to stop the preventable gun violence that happens every day, especially when easy access to firearms mixes with violence, hate and racism.
This is a moment that calls for leadership. As President Biden said, we can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country – I was proud to do so when I represented central Washington in 1994. It was the right policy for our country then, and it still is.
As a state, we have taken important steps to protect our citizens from gun violence, but there is still much to be done. Now is the time to act to protect the people of this country.
