Policy Panel Discussion
About the Panel Discussion:
Rep. Emma Mulvaney-Stanak hosted a state and federal policy discussion on July 21, 2022. The panel discussion included leaders in gun safety and violence prevention. We explored Vermont and federal gun policy and what legislative changes are possible to strengthen gun sales, possession and safety as well as larger community safety concerns. We also discussed how easy access to guns impacts several parts of our community: community safety, school safety, mental health crisis/suicide, and hate crimes. Watch the panel discussion.
HELPED pass comprehensive gun safety bill in Vermont
January 2022
“Our state needs meaningful, comprehensive gun safety reform, and this bill is a crucial step in the right direction,” said Allie Breyer, a volunteer with the Vermont chapter of Moms Demand Action.
“Keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and others with dangerous histories saves lives. This bill will strengthen protections for vulnerable Vermonters and keep our communities safe.”
