As a mother, Delegate Kathy Tran recognizes that gun violence is the number one killer of children in Virginia.
She has worked in the Virginia House of Delegates to help pass legislation to address this, including an extreme risk law, to help temporarily remove firearms from those in crisis, as well as expanded background checks.
Delegate Tran has also:
- Strengthened secure firearm storage laws and launched a public awareness campaign to educate Virginians about the risks of unsecured guns
- Fought to ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines
- Authored legislation to disarm hate and prohibit those convicted of a hate crime from purchasing a firearm
Delegate Tran said:
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for our kids and teens. This is NOT acceptable. We can and must do better to make sure our kids and communities are safe.
