Background checks to make sure that they are able to handle a gun. We think there opportunities for awareness and education, not that it is mandatory, an opportunity for people to know how to handle weapons. We think there needs to be better education in our schools, big effort we have in our Education System is to make sure we dont have bullying that goes on. Violence starts at a younger age when we see bullying that is uncontained. Teaching goodteaching good values and good principles is a very significant part of the issue.

Those in attendance were not tested for covid19 upon arrival and social distancing was not enforced. Despite the backlash from Public Health risk of these events, donald trump is planning even more, announcing that he will be holding multiple rallies in battleground states in the coming days.
