Issues: Guns
Maryland has made great strides against gun violence in recent years. However, as we've seen in Aurora, CO; Sandy Hook, CT; and Maryland's own Columbia Mall, we must do more to protect our communities from senseless gun crimes.
Cheryl has always been a strong advocate for tough gun control laws. 20 years ago, she worked as a federal lobbyist with Jim and Sarah Brady to pass the Brady Bill and federal Assault Weapons Ban.
When she uncovered inexcusably long delays by the Maryland State Police in conducting background checks on gun purchases, Cheryl blew the whistle and saw to it that the backlog was addressed.
As our State Senator, she will continue working to keep dangerous guns off our streets.
