Access to guns are the problem. After another week of news headlines of mass shootings, after another week of hearing that a child again killed children at a school... ACT NOW.
As a nation, our collective inaction makes us complicit in the murder of these children. Enough! If we cannot do this nationally, a state like Alaska can be the leader in common sense reform that saves lives.
As a United Methodist Pastor, I join my congregation in Anchorage and sibling churches around the country in calling for you to sponsor, advocate for, and pass gun reform now.
Universal background checks, mandatory safety measures and training on proper and secure storage, banning assault style weapons... These and other COMMON SENSE measures are widely supported by Alaskans.
Do it now. Not because it is easy but because it is your moral duty.
Thank you for your courage and service.
