Guns and COVID19

Governor Baker clarified during last week's press conference that gun retailers are NOT listed as essential Massachusetts business during the COVID19 crisis.

In spite of his statement, there are gun dealers who are staying open in Middleborough and Worcester.  

Gun sales soar

A record number of gun sales are happening now during the COVID19 crisis. U.S. Senators warn this surge could overwhelm the current Federal background check system, NICS. 

Research has shown that more guns in the home create a greater safety risk, especially to situations of domestic violence and suicide.

Safe storage saves lives

Massachusetts is one of the few states that has a law for safe gun storage. As more children are at home, the risk of negligent gun access is even greater.
