Across the country, a number of organizations are pushing for 'common sense gun laws' to prevent mass shootings like the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.
"We know what works. We know that background checks on every gun sale work. We know that red flag laws work. We know sending home information with parents, educating them about safe storage of guns works. We don't have to make guns illegal to dramatically reduce violence and save lives," she said."This was a predominantly Latinx community and people in the Latinx community are really disproportionately impacted by gun violence. It is maddening.
"Most countries do not have a problem with fatal mass shootings. Most countries do not have anywhere close to the rates of homicides that we do. It's driven principally, not because we are an incredibly violent society, though we are violent, but it's because we have decided to make guns readily available to almost anyone and our interests seem to be more protecting those who sell weapons and want to own them as opposed to the broader public," said Webster.
