Attorney General Josh Stein learned early on that some things are worth fighting for, no matter the opposition. For this reason, despite consistent pushes from special interests like the gun lobby to roll back progress in his state, Attorney General Stein has fought tirelessly to defend and expand the lifesaving gun safety measures already on the books in North Carolina. In doing so, he’s kept countless residents of the Tar Heel State safe from senseless violence and helped save lives from Raleigh to the Outer Banks.
In office, Attorney General Stein has led the North Carolina Department of Justice with conviction and proposed substantive solutions to curb America’s epidemic of gun violence. Over the course of his two terms as attorney general, AG Stein has worked to educate gun owners about this importance of safe firearm storage in an effort to combat rising suicide rates and has promoted necessary violence interruption programs. He’s also been a strong opponent of the North Carolina General Assembly’s repeal of pistol purchase permits and filed amicus briefs supporting federal rulemaking efforts to regulate dangerous untraceable ghost guns. Attorney General Stein knows we must be proactive in building a safer future for the next generation, and he’s determined to pass a public safety package in North Carolina that would guarantee universal background checks on all gun sales; implement a statewide extreme risk law that would allow families and law enforcement to temporarily remove firearms from those who pose a threat to themselves or others; raise the age requirement for buying semiautomatic rifles to 21; and better equip schools with on-site nurses, social workers, counselors, and psychologists who can help kids and lower the risk of violence.
With so much on the line this fall, it’s imperative that North Carolina voters mobilize like never before to elect Attorney General Josh Stein to be their state’s next governor. He’s proven that he’ll always put public safety first and be a champion in the fight to save lives—and with him helping lead the charge for stronger gun laws, we know that a safer future is possible.
