Ayanna Pressley: Massachusetts Has Some of the Strongest Gun Safety Laws in the Nation, But It Doesn’t Work Because of Other States

PRESSLEY: “I believe the people closest to the pain should be the closest to the power. But let's look at who you are instead holding close to the power. Not the traumatized children, not the grieving mothers, not the classroom educators who everyday wonder, is today the day that I will have to shield my student from a shooter? Instead, this is a picture from your signing ceremony announcing over 30 changes to end gun safety protections and standing directly behind you are the leaders of the gun lobby, the NRA, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the National Association for Gun Rights, and others who have spent decades obstructing common sense gun safety measures. The gun lobby is controlling the regulators while our communities are paying the price, burying loved ones and raising children in fear. The shame and the sham of it all. I yield back.”
