I’ve cared for children who survived shootings and met parents who didn’t get to take their child home from the hospital. Those are stories you don’t forget.

Lindsey Graham has taken hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars from the gun lobby and voted against even the most basic reforms that most Americans support, such as background checks, assault-weapons bans, safe-storage laws.

We can respect the Second Amendment and still protect our kids. That means:

• Universal background checks
• Banning weapons of war from our streets
• Safe storage laws that prevent unintentional shootings and youth suicides
• More funding for community violence prevention and mental health programs
