Edwin Rutan: 'Guns are now the number one cause of death among children and teens in Utah and more Utahns are killed every year by bullets than by motor vehicles.'
Around 100 people waved flags and listened to speeches during a 2nd amendment rally in front of the Utah Capitol on Saturday, March 27, 2021.The rate of gun deaths in Utah increased by 39% from 2006 to 2020 . More than 400 Utahns a year die from gun violence. Suicide, domestic violence, homicide - the tragedy of gun violence is pervasive in Utah.
In 2021, the Republicans passed legislation allowing individuals to carry a concealed firearm without a permit, which ignored the vast majority of studies showing that permitless concealed-carry legislation brings more gun violence. Typically, states adopting permitless carry experience a 22% increase in gun homicides in the following three years.
Over 80% of American adults agree that to conceal-carry, a gun owner should be required to pass a safety test, but HB219 would prohibit state and local employees from cooperating with any such federal programs, even though Justice Kavanaugh makes clear that they are perfectly compatible with the Second Amendment.
