Right before Thanksgiving, I mentioned that we’d be working closely with the Center for Gun Responsibility to keep educating the public and helping to pass commonsense laws to build on the progress we’ve made by voting Yes on 594.
And that work started yesterday at 10:00 a.m., when we celebrated the official certification of Initiative 594 and unveiled our legislative agenda for the future.
Are you ready to take the next step with us?
Yes, I am — let’s keep fighting to reduce gun violence in Washington!
I think you’ll be pleased with what we revealed yesterday morning with our partners from the Center for Gun Responsibility.
In addition to gathering feedback from our supporters, we worked with our advisory board to get input from all corners of Washington. As always, our approach is evidence-based — grounded in relevant research and best practices — and aimed at what we know will reduce gun violence in Washington. In short, we’re going to focus on:
* Child Safety: Creating criminal liability for adults whose firearms are used by children to commit gun violence.
* Gun Violence Protection Orders: Utilizing a system similar to Washington’s existing Domestic Violence Protective Orders that would provide tools to families and law enforcement to keep guns out of the hands of those who are a threat to themselves or others.
* Notification When Firearms Are Returned: Allowing family members and survivors to sign up for alerts when a firearm is returned to its owner after having been removed.
* Access to Mental Health Services: Supporting increased funding for mental health services and increasing the tools available to family members and mental health professionals to make sure that those in crisis get the care and services they need.
* Keeping Guns Out of Dangerous Hands: Adding convictions for crimes shown to be high predictors of future firearm violence to the list of factors that render a person ineligible to buy or possess guns.
* Gun Range Health and Safety: Addressing the extensive instances of lead-related health and safety violations at gun ranges throughout Washington State.
It’s ambitious — but your support has shown us that we can accomplish great things when we set our minds to it. So I just have one question: Are you ready to take the next step with us?
Yes, I am — let’s keep fighting to reduce gun violence in Washington!
Once again, I can’t thank you enough for helping Washington vote Yes on 594. Thank you for continuing to fight for commonsense reforms!
Let’s do this.
