I know there is one, but as usual with the national league, I've been completely unable to find it. I have to say I'm reluctant to support gun safety as one of our top priorities because a lot of the bills that get proposed on that topic are poorly written and poorly researched, and I've been told that not all our local Leagues are united on the issue. We do have a state position but it's extremely vague: "The LWVNM supports regulation of firearms for public safety."
