It is time for us to pass effective gun safety legislation -- in fact, it is past time. There are too many guns, including weapons of war, on our streets, and there are too many gun deaths and injuries.
I was proud to help fight for legislation that will restrict access to guns for those with records of domestic violence -- and pleased when it passed. But we need to do more. We need to restore Rhode Island's ban on assault weapons and keep guns out of our schools.
