Senator Tarr’s Statement on a Recent News Article
Boston- Senate
Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) released the following statement
today on a recently published newspaper article entitled: “Plan to Seize Guns
Hits Opposition”:
Massachusetts currently has some of the
strongest laws in our nation to prevent this from happening, and I have worked
diligently to strengthen them. Should
there be a gap in this area that needs to be filled to protect public safety,
we should consider and act on the best means to fill it, and do so in a
sustainable and constitutional way.
Those who pose a risk of harm to
themselves or others should not only be prevented from having access to
firearms, they should receive effective treatment, to prevent them from harming
others with anything, including a truck or a bomb improvised from a pressure
cooker.
That is a priority we should all share,
and I hope we can work together to address it.
