Meanwhile, GOP legislators have repeatedly passed legislation that would make it harder to protect North Carolinians from the threat of gun violence. Thankfully, Roy has vetoed these dangerous bills.

But the fact is, we need to do more. We need to pass commonsense gun violence prevention laws that will help end this uniquely American epidemic — one experienced by none of our peer nations.

If you’re ready for a future where North Carolinians can go to church, school, or the mall without the risk of injury or death at the barrel of a gun, please, add your name to Roy’s petition calling on the GOP to work with Democrats to enact reasonable reforms to combat this growing threat.
