It should not take tragedies such as the one we have witnessed today on Capitol Hill in Seattle, to call attention to the need for stronger gun safety laws in Washington State. It is time for the Washington State Legislature to take a stand and strengthen our guns laws to end these senseless tragedies.

We want to keep moving forward with this momentum, and take this plan to the public.

We think most police officers like the idea of transparency that protects both the police's and the public's confidence in the system.
