Recently Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. for demanding universal background checks for all persons carrying guns.
“With universal background checks,” Crenshaw said, “I wouldn’t be able to let my friends borrow my handgun.”
I hope Utahns will always remember that it was a handgun borrowed from a friend by a person who could not pass a background check that was used to murder University of Utah student Lauren McCluskey.
If you want your family to be safer, please support universal background checks for anyone carrying a gun.
