- Current laws that support Gun Ownership, that do not protect citizens – The Right to Carry – Also should carry a right to protect the innocent from a decision to own or discharge a firearm. The Right to Carry may need to called The Privilege to Carry – No law should preserve a freedom or right if it will cause chaos or senseless deaths.
- Educating citizens regarding new gun laws and putting processes in place now to ensure gun owners are knowledgeable concerning their decision to own a firearm.
- New ways to protect our children and youth from access to guns legal or illegal.
