The problem with Utah's recent gun legislation
Republicans sponsored and passed approximately a dozen bills concerning firearms during the 2023 legislative session. It would be reasonable to think that legislators are actually doing something to protect Utahns from gun violence. But, these bills will have little or no effect on reducing death and injury from gun violence and could, in fact, increase it. There are three common faults that underlie each of these pieces of legislation.
Letter: Deregulating gun silencers is such a bad idea
(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Caroline Phinney, left, and Chiemi Maloy join a rally at the Utah Capitol for a mid-session report card on the progress of gun violence and public safety bills in the Utah Legislature on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020. The rally took place the day after the anniversary of the shooting at Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, FL.
Letter: A course on gun safety doesn’t belong in a school curriculum
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) A participant in the Utah County Freedom Rally at the Provo Courthouse on Friday, Oct. 2, 2020. By Barbara Gentry | The Public Forum | Feb. 28, 2021, 1:00 p.m. I am opposed to HB258; a bill to provide a high school course on gun safety, currently on its way to the Utah Senate. HB258 is a political and financial support vehicle for promoting the use of guns.
