Thank you to Law Officer for republishing my article about how Police Leaders for Community Safety hides an alarming agenda that promotes federal overreach and undermines local law enforcement. Their anti-gun advocacy and push for top-down control threaten the independence of local police departments, shifting the focus away from real community needs like officer recruitment, retention, and public safety. Now more than ever, we must stand for local control and constitutional rights. Read more about why this movement is wrong for law enforcement, wrong for victims, and wrong for America. #LawEnforcement #CommunitySafety #PoliceLeadership #PublicSafety #GunRights #LocalControl #PoliceReform #OfficerWellness #LawEnforcementLeadership #ConstitutionalRights #PublicSafetyMatters #FederalOverreach #LeadershipInCrisis #LawEnforcementAdvocacy

I believe in upholding our 2nd Amendment rights while addressing the crucial issue of gun safety. 🇺🇸🔫 Gun reform doesn’t equate to denying those rights. It means creating a safer environment for all. My vision for gun reform includes: ✅ Universal Background Checks ✅ Targeting Illegal Gun Trafficking ✅ Improved Mental Health Screenings ✅ Enhanced Enforcement of Existing Laws ✅ Comprehensive Gun Safety Training Visit 👉 PDrake4US.com/gun-safety 👈 to explore my common-sense solutions.

📣 Important Update: A Victory for Local Governance and Public Safety! A recent ruling has declared that Indiana’s attempt to block Gary’s lawsuit against gun manufacturers is unconstitutional. This decision is a crucial win for the city of Gary, which is striving to hold gun manufacturers accountable for their role in the gun violence that impacts our community. Why this matters: ✅ Local Impact: Gary is at the forefront of addressing the devastating effects of gun violence, and this lawsuit is a vital step towards meaningful change. ✅ State vs. Local Power: The court’s decision underscores the importance of local governments having the authority to tackle issues that directly affect their communities. ✅ Shifting Attitudes: Interestingly, the perception of rising crime is leading to calls for public safety reforms—calls that are even resonating with Republicans in Indiana. According to our research, nearly 7-in-10 people say it is important that elected leaders pass common-sense gun reforms like universal background checks. Let’s support Gary in its fight for justice and safer neighborhoods. Together, we can advocate for the reforms our communities need.

Did you know? The new gun violence prevention law protects your right to vote. One of the key provisions that the Coalition successfully advocated for in this law prohibits guns in polling areas and early voting sites, and mandates that guns must remain at least 150 feet away from these locations. Democracy depends on our ability to cast our votes freely, without the threat of violence. This new law defends that vital freedom.

The recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, serves as a chilling reminder of how out-of-control America's gun policy has become and how deeply entrenched political violence threatens our democracy. Regardless of whom we support, such violence is unacceptable and must be condemned. The fact that a shooter, armed with an AR-style rifle, could attempt to murder a political leader in broad daylight is a damning indictment of our failure to address gun control. This incident should jolt us into recognising that our democratic process is at risk and that both parties must urgently unite to kerb this spiralling violence and champion non-violence. Implementing non-violence requires comprehensive gun control legislation, widespread education on conflict resolution, and a national commitment to fostering respectful political discourse, ensuring that violence has no place in our society.
