Universal Background Checks
Background checks should be required for every firearm purchase regardless of the circumstances. Every gun. Every sale. Everywhere.
-
Ban Assault Weapons
Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines make shootings deadlier. We can make our communities safer by banning them.
-
Extreme Risk Protection Orders
ERPOs allow families and law enforcement to prevent tragedies by limiting access to firearms for individuals at high risk for dangerous behavior.
We can learn from other states and enact broadly supported gun safety measures here in North Carolina to make our communities safer.
Universal background checks, high-capacity magazine bans, and ERPOs aren’t just supported by most North Carolinians — they’re supported by most gun owners.
We should also invest in mental health and counseling programs to help folks who are struggling. Most gun deaths are from suicide.
If you or someone you know may be in danger of self harm, contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
