Interview with CityLab, March 19, 2019
Think about the issues that take place in our cities: 15 minutes up the road from Miramar is Parkland. In that mass shooting, the type of gun that was used was a military-style rifle that is designed to just create the complete annihilation of life. Those type of guns should not be acceptable. I would support legislation that will keep those types of guns out of the hands of people, and especially the ones that should not have them."
