GIFFORDS Calls on Leaders in Massachusetts to Find Path Forward on Gun Safety
Washington DC — Today, GIFFORDS, the gun violence prevention organization led by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, released a statement calling on legislative leaders in Massachusetts to resolve their procedural disagreements and find a path forward for gun safety legislation.
Joe Platte, State Legislative Manager for GIFFORDS:
“We are grateful for the commitments both Speaker Mariano and Senate President Spilka have made to passing gun safety legislation this session. But as too many families and communities understand all too well, gun violence in Massachusetts isn’t waiting for the legislature to act. Whether it’s stemming the tide of ghost guns flooding the commonwealth or ensuring those affected by gun violence can hold bad actors in the gun industry accountable, we stand ready to work with the legislature to act with the urgency this crisis deserves.”
