Pass a resolution condemning hate and domestic terrorism including those in Gilroy, California and El Paso, Texas.

Close Background Check Loopholes

Pass legislation that extends the current background check requirement to include any sale or transfer of firearms at gun shows, online or from an individual.

Allow Extreme Risk Protection Orders

Pass legislation that allows law enforcement or a family member to petition the court if they believe an individual with a firearm is a danger to themselves and/or to others and if the threat is found to be credible, empower law enforcement to retrieve the firearm(s) until the threat is no longer.
