Why are more than 50 Laguna Beach residents urging President Biden to convene a gun summit at Camp David? Because, like me, they are disgusted by the incessant number of mass shootings in America.
Even though there never has been a mass shooting in Laguna, my friends and I know it could happen here. Just ask those living in Buffalo, New York where ten were gunned down while grocery shopping last year. Or residents of Highland Park, Illinois where seven were massacred during their annual Fourth of July parade a year ago. Not to mention the countless number of parents in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, Parkland, Florida, or Uvalde, Texas who sent their children to school in the morning, never to see them alive again at the end of the day.
As far as I am concerned, we are a nation awash with guns. Because “thoughts and prayers” haven't prevented mass shootings from happening, I believe it’s time to rethink America's strategy when it comes to ending what many are calling a gun violence pandemic.
If you agree, then I urge you to add your name to our growing list of supporters (NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE). Just email me “yes.” Once we secure another 50-100 names, I’ll get back to you with next steps. Until then, please see our 2nd Camp David gun summit ad below. Thanks.
