Gun Violence Prevention
Oregon Area Progressives believe we can prevent deaths from gun violence. Guns are the top cause of death for children, surpassing traffic accidents and cancer. We support these common-sense measures to reduce gun violence nationwide:
Universal background checks on gun sales
Advocating for safe storage of firearms
Banning assault weapons and large-capacity magazines
Holding gun manufacturers and the National Rifle Association accountable.
