Don Berwick on Gun Control

 

 


Weapons of war have no place on our streets

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Absolute right to gun ownership"?

A: "Weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our classrooms. We need Congress to step up and enact meaningful reform. But in the meantime, there are steps we can take in Massachusetts to reduce gun violence including increasing gun safety courses and limiting high-capacity magazines."
