As VP I drove the creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which led to the first major gun-safety bill in nearly three decades, looking at gun trafficking and the training of fourteen thousand new mental health workers to work in schools like Apalachee and help avert such tragedies. But we need to do much more. As a gun owner myself, I am not coming to take away anybody’s guns. I am with the majority of Americans who want an assault weapons ban. I am with those who want universal background checks and red flag laws.
