Gun violence is a national crisis that is getting worse every day, and it’s time for us to take action to ensure the safety of our communities.”
Watts also noted that it was crucial for lawmakers to work together to implement sensible gun control legislation.

Her message is inspiring and speaks to the need to put public safety first and to take action to make sure that gun control measures are in place.
