Councilwoman Suzie Price releases statement on Supreme Court ruling on New York State gun control law

This post was originally published on this site

We have an epidemic of preventable gun violence in this country and the Supreme Court’s decision has made it easier for dangerous people to carry concealed handguns in public spaces.

I have spent my entire career fighting for women and victims of gun violence and as a Councilwoman, I successfully brought common-sense measures designed to ban ghost guns and ghost gun parts in Long Beach.

Today’s ruling flies in the face of bi-partisan reform measures moving through Congress just this week and removes a long-standing, practical measure that police and first responders across the country use to keep our neighborhoods safe.
