Dear Kirsten, can you please read this during Oral Communications for me on June 1? Thank you very much, Connie
Dear Mayor, Vice-Mayor and Councilmembers,
I am writing to join with Cupertino residents, and the Silicon Valley Gun Violence Prevention
Alliance (SVGVP Alliance), to ask the Cupertino City Council to adopt a Secure Storage of
Firearms ordinance. This ordinance would require all firearms in a home to be stored in
a locked container or disabled with a locking device unless the firearms are in use. An
overwhelming number of towns and cities have already adopted this measure in
California. In Cupertino we are already seeing our neighboring towns lead on this issue
and adopt this ordinance as well. I am urging Cupertino to do the same.
Our country has been experiencing a dramatic rise in gun violence over the last 20
years, but it has really accelerated this past year. While a Secure Storage ordinance
won’t prevent all gun violence, it is a step in the right direction. It is an easy one for a
local government to do. Please keep our community safe.
Sincerely,
Connie Cunningham
