On the 8th anniversary of the Aurora theater shooting, John Hickenlooper released the following statement:
“Eight years ago, twelve lives were taken from our community, and countless others were forever changed during a tragic mass shooting in Aurora. I’ll never forget the pain we felt — as a state and as a nation. My heart aches every day for the Coloradans we lost and their families and loved ones.
“Eight years ago, we worked to honor their lives with action, but more remains to be done. We can’t stop fighting for safer gun laws so no other community will know the devastation that has become too familiar to Colorado.”
After the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado passed some of the strongest gun safety laws in the country, including universal background checks and limiting high capacity magazines. John is running for U.S. Senate to bring those same solutions to Washington and stop the gun violence epidemic.
