We are gun owners, sportsmen, veterans, mothers and fathers, daughters

and sons who seek reasonable and responsible solutions to preventing gun
violence.

We envision an America where all are safe from gun violence, and where
responsible gun owners take the lead to promote safe gun ownership and
sensible laws and regulations.

Our commitment to change arose from the December, 2012 shooting at the
Clackamas Town Center in suburban Portland, Oregon. Two people were
killed and a third wounded. All were strangers to the shooter, but to us they
were family, friends and neighbors.

We believe our Second Amendment rights come with responsibilities. We

believe in common-sense efforts to reduce gun violence and promote gun
safety including:

Universal background checks to keep firearms out of the hands of

dangerous people
Safe and secure storage of firearms to prevent access by children or
any unauthorized person
