It was a pleasure to catch up with @momsdemandaction.org & @studentsdemandaction.org today with other legislators to hear about the measures being proposed this year & learn more about how the looming threat of gun violence impacts Utah. I support their work & wear my F rating from NRA with pride.

This year, I'm running SB 260 to address firearms on campus, preventing students from keeping firearms in their dorm rooms and restoring local control to universities to regulate their own campuses.

During my time in the legislature, I've taken on some weighty issues, none more so than addressing gun violence in our communities. Last year, I worked with @everytown.org and other advocates to address the incredible accessibility of firearms and related accessories.

Today, it was a grand jury of anonymous American citizens who upheld the rule of law and determined this case should not proceed. Hopefully, this ends this politicized investigation for good.
