Montgomery County benefits from relatively strong gun control legislation, and I am proud to have been among those pushing Maryland's General Assembly to ban ghost guns, which they did in 2022 after years of advocacy.
However, some known, effective measures to keep our kids and community safer have yet to be taken.
We must:
pass secure gun storage resolutions
send annual letters home to parents via schools detailing Maryland's mandatory safe gun storage practices
provide facilities where gun owners can temporarily store their firearms if they or a family member are in crisis
prohibit domestic abusers under temporary restraining orders from having firearms
put pressure on nearby states to pass stricter gun safety measures
