Dear Maine Legislative Council,
As a resident of Maine, I ask that you support LR 2692 – a bill that would prohibit firearms in licensed child care centers.
Every year, nearly 350 American children under the age of 18 gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else. From 2015 to 2018, Everytown for Gun Safety's #NotAnAccident Index tracked nearly 1,400 unintentional shootings by children, resulting in nearly 500 deaths and nearly 950 injuries. LR 2692 would help keep guns out of children's hands in Maine child care centers and can prevent future gun violence tragedies.
Please support LR 2692.
Thank you,
ME resident
