[Vision2020] The Petition

[Joe Campbell]

Matt,

This sounds sensible. Again, I don't have a "plan" about what to do. More
interested in exploring solutions -- and this does just that. I like the
idea of stronger background checks.

Note too that if you think of the latest episodes of gun violence -- the
ones we've all heard about at least -- gun theft did not play a role. Most
of the shooters were young, as well. In general, the school shooters were
young and required their guns from family members, or purchased them
themselves. These are not folks who are stealing guns.
