STOPPING GUN VIOLENCE
California State PTA – EveryChild. OneVoice.
March 14, 2018 is “CALL OUT” To End Gun Violence
2018 National PTA Legislation Conference is happening with federal lawmakers in Washington D.C. on March 13-15, 2018:
- Prohibiting the sale and possession of assault weapons, including automatic and semi-automatic weapons
- Mandatory background checks
- Waiting periods for all firearm purchases
The Jewels’ Angels Foundation, Inc. supports stopping gun violence, especially in our schools:
- Stricter regulations and controls
- Mental illness background checks
- Gun owner responsibility – mandated by the Government
- Mandatory gun safety (guns safely locked up) random searches by the NRA
- Schools equipped with metal detectors
- Gun safety education in school curriculum
- Mandatory emergency drills (what to do if faced with a school shooting)
- Social Media responsibility – alert proper authorities if faced with potential threatening posts or pictures; either in regards to self-harm or violence towards others
- Teens being rewarded for speaking up if they know or hear of another teen speaking out about hurting someone else or hurting themselves
Every voice matters…we must stop gun violence!
