    I’m hopeful that we will see common sense gun violence legislation passed this week as
    our state lawmakers convene for a special session on public safety.
    Gun violence does not have partisan boundaries so political party affiliation should not
    dictate how we approach gun law reforms.

    I urge our legislators to listen to the residents of this great state. Sensible reforms can
    prevent senseless killings. Our legislators can take action to keep our communities safe
    while still preserving the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.

    After the tragic murders at the Covenant School, now is the moment for state
    lawmakers to turn statements of sympathy and prayers into action and leadership.
