Finding Common Ground with Gun Owners on Gun Safety Policies: Can Maryland Lead the Way?

May 7, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

St. John’s Episcopal Church, Gun Violence Prevention Ministry, and the Temple Sinai Gun Violence Prevention Group, invite you to this hybrid community forum on gun safety policies.  A recent empirical study has identified four state-level policies that will save lives and on which there is substantial consensus between Americans who do and do not own guns. Maryland has already enacted some of these policies, but further legislation could strengthen them as well as enact others. What are these policies and how feasible is their adoption in Maryland? Firearm owners are especially welcome to participate in the Question & Answer period.

Panelists include:

  • Matthew Littman, Executive Director, 97Percent
  • Professor Michael Siegel, M.D., M.P.H., Professor or Public Health and Community Medicine at Tufts University
  • Jeffrey D. Waldstreicher, Maryland State Senator, Vice Chair, Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee

A light lunch will be available for the live audience; the program will be recorded for later viewing.  Program will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 6701 Wisconsin Avenue in Chevy Chase, MD.
