Legal Community Against Violence Helps Launch State Legislators Against Illegal Guns Coalition

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 3 (AScribe Newswire) — State legislators from around the country gathered today in Jacksonville at a conference hosted by Jacksonville Mayor Peyton to announce the formation of State Legislators Against Illegal Guns. The organization’s founding co-chairs, New York State Senator Eric Schneiderman (D), Florida State Representative Evan Jenne (D), Kansas State Representative Tim Owens (R), Nebraska State Senator Brad Ashford (R), Illinois State Representative Elizabeth Coulson, and Pennsylvania State Representative Cherelle L. Parker (D) represent a bi-partisan commitment to public safety that extends beyond state and party lines. The legislators were joined at the event by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is a founding co-chair of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition, and more than 15 Florida mayors.

At the conference, Nina Vinik, Legal Director for Legal Community Against Violence briefed the co-chairs about state-level legislative approaches to the problem of illegal guns. Ms.Vinik also moderated a panel discussion with Senator Schneiderman, Representative Owens, and Representative Jenne, about ways in which state legislators can work together to enact common sense measures to prevent gun violence.

“With major gaps in federal laws and insufficient enforcement, states are left to fill in the gaps with laws that target the flow of illegal guns. State Legislators Against Illegal Guns promises to be a forum for elected officials to share ideas about what laws are effective and how to get those laws passed,” said Robyn Thomas, Executive Director of Legal Community Against Violence. “Legal Community Against Violence stands ready to support these legislators in this important work.”
