Handguns are used in 9 out of every 10 gun deaths. A licensing system helps keep handguns out of the hands of those who should not have them.
We work closely with the best gun violence researchers in the nation to determine what’s working and then spread the word.
We will work to close loopholes in our current laws and make sure they are enforced.
Too often, communities at ground zero of this epidemic are left out of the discussion. We aim to fix that.
We will work to raise awareness throughout Maryland on policies and programs to prevent gun homicide and suicide.
