Boulder DA has plans to End Gun Violence
Jul 18th
Boulder District Attorney continue to lead efforts to prevent and prosecute gun violence. We have made progress in reducing gun violence. I 
have also successfully prosecuted horrific murder cases and secured justice for the victims and their families. But there is more work to do.
have also successfully prosecuted horrific murder cases and secured justice for the victims and their families. But there is more work to do.
Keep in mind these sobering statistics:
- In Colorado, 86% of domestic violence deaths involved firearms.
- Colorado has the 10th highest rate of gun suicides in the U.S.: 1 every 13 hours.
As your next Attorney General, I will take my successful efforts statewide:
- Vigorously prosecute cases and offer prosecution support to smaller, non-metro jurisdictions that require assistance.
Fight for sensible and reasonable legislative changes, such as our successful, bipartisan bill to ban ghost guns.- Raise community awareness and access to Extreme Risk Protection Orders.
- Increase safe gun storage — by distributing FREE gun safes purchased through grant funding and non-profit organizations. That’s how we reduce the number of stolen guns.
In 2024, a leading gun violence prevention organization recognized me for my work in Boulder County. I want to take this approach statewide.
