Gun Violence

Last week, the legislature approved the results of negotiations between the branches on their respective versions of gun safety legislation.

Yesterday, the Senate released its draft gun bill. The bill reflects months of discussions with stakeholders across the spectrum as well as a great deal of discussion among senators.

The Supreme Court’s gun decision last week invalidates our requirement that a license applicant show need for a firearm.

The House and Senate have both now given initial approval to legislation to make it easier to take guns away from people who are a risk of harming themselves or others.
