“I want lawmakers to prove that they care about their constituents’ lives,” said Daffodil Buchert, a recent high school graduate, while participating in Saturday's March for Our Lives protest against gun violence.
“An 18-year-old shouldn’t be able to purchase a gun, or a handgun or the deadliest bullets, which my son was killed with,” Glaubensklee told The Salt Lake Tribune.as part of a nationwide effort to protest gun violence
Marchers hold signs and chant in support of increased gun safety measures at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, Saturday, June 11, 2022.to legally purchase a firearm. “We are in a different century and we have different guns. I do not think the public needs the deadliest bullets. My son might be alive today if a silver hollow-point bullet wasn’t used to kill him.”
“I want lawmakers to prove that they care about their constituents’ lives,” Buchert said. “Kids, children, 10-year-olds are getting killed and lawmakers aren’t doing anything about it. I got to graduate last week, but so many kids aren’t going to ever have that opportunity.” While protesters marched just a few streets away, the Salt Lake City Police Department hosted a gun buyback Saturday afternoon for those who wanted to take their firearms out of circulation. The no-questions-asked event brought dozens of residents who received a gift card in return for their firearms.
