Roberts recently voted in favor of a bill that would allow people to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. Since Jan. 1, 23 toddlers have either shot themselves or someone else, a result of guns carelessly left in places where small children have access. Shouldn’t the training required to carry a concealed weapon be strengthened, not eliminated as Roberts wants to do?

Roberts also voted to repeal the clip size limit passed in Colorado. Last month at a prom in Wisconsin, a student was shot in the parking lot by police. The student was carrying a high-powered rifle with a large clip, and school officials said the results could have been unimaginable. The clip size limit was passed to help prevent awful and unimaginable tragedies.

We need a representative who advocates an approach that improves mental health services as well as the implementation of gun safety measures, which would not even be a minor inconvenience to the vast majority of hunters and gun owners such as ourselves.

We need Roberts, whose actions would indicate she views a high death rate from guns as an acceptable by-product of unrestricted access to guns, to resign immediately.
