Gun control is once again among the most pressing issues before the U.S. Supreme Court as it starts a new term.
The Conservative majority court is scheduled to weigh in on whether people accused of domestic violence have a right to own a firearm.
It was a cause that he took on in 2018 after surviving a school shooting in Parkland in Florida. Schentrup's sister Carmen was among the 17 people killed that day by a lone gunman.“There’s a possibility here for the Supreme Court’s decision saying that removing guns from domestic abusers is unconstitutional and that is something that we don’t want to happen," he said.
Schentrup and other advocates also welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden's move to create the first-ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention.“It’s really important throughout the entire government that there’s a place that could coordinate the efforts," he added, "to really make sure that we have the solutions that we need, implemented in a way that would be most effective.”
