There have been multiple instances of young people bringing guns to school in Virginia. This is unacceptable and those who own the guns should be held accountable for not locking up their guns safely.

I support all of these bills as each would lessen the chances of gun violence and inevitably save lives.

I support keeping guns out of the hands of kids, and this common-sense bill will incentivize adults to take firearms storage seriously.

As a mother of two young children, there is nothing more important to me than building a safer community for our state's kids, one that is free from the fear and constant threat of wanton gun violence. I strongly support any measure -- large or small-- that brings awareness and common sense regulation of deadly weapons, that removes firearms from those who threaten themselves or others, and diminishes the capacity of firearms to kill innocent people.
