“None of the things we’ve done (in Massachusetts) cause any inconvenience to responsible gun owners, we just do not give unrestricted access to guns to people who can’t pass background checks"
-John Rosenthal, Founder
In the wake of two mass shootings in the last ten days, state and local governments are looking for a model to help reduce gun violence and prevent a mass shooting in their state and they are looking to Massachusetts.
We've proven that gun laws save lives. Massachusetts has the lowest gun death rate and lowest gun violence costs of any state. And that is not a coincidence.
We released this statement after the shootings. But we need your help to maintain our role as a national leader on this issue.
