In the wake of the three year anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting, Governor Tom Wolf is calling for more action against gun violence.
“It’s not just in our streets, it’s in our schools, it’s in our businesses, it’s in our homes, it’s in our places of worship,” Wolf said. “It should be in none of those places.”
Wolf lays out some of the areas he believes should change.
“Guns should be taken away from those who could harm themselves or others, require quicker reporting of lost or stolen guns, and to improve safety requirements and close background check loopholes,” Wolf said.
Wolf also took aim at some in the legislature.
“My administration has made it a top priority to address the scourge of gun violence, but executive action alone cannot end gun violence in Pennsylvania. We need the General Assembly to take action to increase gun safety and prevent gun violence,” Wolf said. “I have repeatedly called for legislative action on key commonsense measures. Instead of acting to increase gun safety and reduce violence, the majority are instead pushing dangerous legislation that would make all of us less safe.”
