  • BLAIR HOLT’S FIREARM LICENSING and RECORD OF SALE ACT OF 2007/ HOUSE BILL HR2666
    Started On :April-29,2008
    CommonSenseSavesLives

    On May 10, 2007, 16 year old BLAIR HOLT, lost his life due to a senseless act of gun violence, while traveling from school on a public bus. Four other students were violently shot and injured during the same horrific incident. All were the unintended targets of another youth’s violent approach to, rather than, communicating verbal mediation towards conflict resolution.

  • The Student Anti-Gun Pledge
    Started On :March-12,2008
    CAPS (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy)
    I will never bring a gun to school; I will never use a gun to settle a personal problem or dispute; I will use my influence with my friends to keep them from using guns to settle disputes. My individual choices and actions, when multiplied by those of young people throughout the country, will make a difference. Together, by honoring this pledge, we can reverse the violence and grow up in safety.
