I will open the hearing on Assembly Bill 291. Assembly Bill 291: Revises provisions relating to public safety. (BDR 15-759) Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui, Assembly District No. 41: I have always been an advocate for gun safety. I supported the background check initiative in 2016, and have always supported sensible reform to put an end to gun violence and the meaningless tragedies that come with it. Before I turn the presentation over to Chelsea Parsons with the Center for American Progress, Mike McLively with the Giffords Law Center, and Todd Sklamberg with Sunrise Hospital, I would like to share my own personal story of gun violence and why I am bringing this bill forward. I want to make sure that no person or family member ever has to live through and face another mass shooting again. What most people do not know is that after 1 October, I actually became more silent on the issue. I was terrified of sharing my story. I wanted to forget it ever happened and to never have to relive a single moment of it again. After the shooting at Parkland, I knew I could not stay quiet. I was so infuriated and angry that children had to face something so awful that I, a grown adult, could barely deal with. I knew it was my responsibility, given my unique position as a legislator, to do everything I could to make Nevada a safer place. This is not an anti-gun bill. I am not an anti-gun legislator and this is not a partisan issue. I am married to a Republican, we own guns, and we believe that better gun laws make us better gun owners. The story I am going to share is not unique or new. We heard from many survivors earlier this year, including myself, but no matter how many times we share our story, you will never truly know the impact it has on us and those who love us. It is traumatic for everyone. My friends and family

  • Issue Background Over the Past Several Years, Gun Violence
    Gun Violence Prevention Background NFTY Mechina 2015 Issue Background Over the past several years, gun violence prevention has once again been at the forefront of North American political discourse, spurred in large part by the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, the Navy Yard shooting in Washington, D.C., and the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, among others. The costs of gun violence in the United States are staggering: Consider these numbers: 8: Each day, eight young Americans under age 19 die from gun violence. 12: The rate of gun deaths among America’s children is 12 times higher than those of the 25 other wealthiest nations combined. 30,000: Over 30,000 Americans die each year from gun violence. $100 Billion: The estimated medical and social cost of gun violence in America, every single year. Nearly 80% of this cost is borne by taxpayers. The vast majority of Americans, even gun owners, support common sense gun safety measures. According to the National Opinion Research Center, 75% of gun owners support mandatory registration of handguns, as does 85% of the general public. 66% of gun owners and 80% of the general public favor mandatory background checks in private handgun sales, such as gun shows. However, some Americans believe that such gun control measures are unnecessary, ineffective, and contrary to the wording and spirit of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which states, “A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” Groups such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) argue that law-abiding citizens, like hunters and sportsmen, will suffer the most under restrictive gun control laws, while criminals will always be able to access guns no matter what restrictions or gun control measures are enacted.
