Instead of embracing widespread bipartisan calls to reform our gun laws in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, Trump and Republican leaders are moving forward with a proposal to give teachers guns.
That’s why Kamala took them to task last week — calling out the Trump Administration for pushing an idea that’ll put our kids in even more danger:
She’s right — and the worst part of this proposal is how it will disproportionately impact children of color who already face higher rates of discipline in our schools.
Millions of Americans — including students across this country — are rising up and demanding action on gun violence. It’s past time for Washington to listen to them. Now is the time to increase the minimum age to purchase a rifle, ban assault weapons and bump stocks, and make background checks universal for all gun purchases.
Thanks for taking action,
—Team Kamala
