Time has been running out for hundreds of people across the country. For those involved in the shootings in Dayton and El Paso, time has run out. Now the time is nearing when every American has experienced, whether themselves or from a family member or close friend, the horror of gun violence.
I don’t have all the answers about guns. I don’t know how to stop the radicalization of our young people on the internet. I do know that it is situations like these that illustrate the dire need that Utah, and the nation, has for better gun laws.
I call for my representative, John Curtis, and our senators, Mike Lee and Mitt Romney, to support extreme risk protection orders and universal background checks. I want my home to be a safe place for me and my family to exist.
Justin Marks, Orem
