'We're diluting our democracy. We're marching toward fascism,' Rep. Gloria Johnson tells Teen Vogue.
I feel very passionately that we have to speak up. Even in my district – I live in East Tennessee, a very red Knox County – and polling in my district when I ran this last year, overwhelmingly both sides of the aisle, a majority of Republicans in my district, want to see red flag legislation. They want to see safe storage. They believe in the Second Amendment, but they also believe in a regulated Second Amendment, and they want to protect kids. We want to protect those kids.
. We don't need to go to school with tanks, surrounded by armed guards everywhere. Why don't we work to make sure that guns don't get to the schoolhouse door? Why do we want the shootout at the schoolhouse door? : What am I doing up here at the legislature if we're passing laws that nobody's going to follow? I mean, we pass laws against burglary and against murder so that there are consequences when you break those laws. How ridiculous to think if we don't have restrictions and protections on guns, we can provide consequences for those who break the law.GJ:
