COMMON SENSE PLAN

Morganellli’s nine-step common sense plan to reduce gun violence.

1) Pass “The Parents Responsible Gun Ownership Act.” - This would require gun owners to secure their firearms if they live with minors, violent criminals or the mentally ill. One of every three firearms is loaded and unsecured, even though most children know where their parents keep their guns.

2) Ban Bump Stocks, which make it easy to turn a semi-automatic weapon into one that fires continuously.

3) Require background checks on all sales of long guns.

4) Ban assault-style weapons to general public.

5) Expand background checks to firearms sales at gun shows and online.

6) Ban firearms to anyone on a terror watch list.

7) Require that lost or stolen guns be reported.

8) Enter mental health records into national databases for background checks.

9) “Red Flag” laws that allow family members or police to petition judges to remove guns from people who pose a danger to themselves or others.
