A father who lost his son in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, mass school shooting, a pediatrician, and the Phoenix police chief were among a group of people who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the detrimental effects of gun violence on children. Topics included increasing funding for mental health care, gun storage safety, the impact of domestic violence on children, utilization of school resource officers, “red flag” laws, and an assault weapons ban. Gun violence among youth had once again come to the forefront of policy issues for lawmakers to address following a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead. A group of bipartisan senators were working on guns legislation and recently announced a framework to move forward on drafting legislation. close
