Thursday, March 29, 2018

St. Paul, Minnesota — Today, House Republicans unveiled an agenda for school safety, ignoring the issue of gun violence prevention. 

House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman released the following statement: 

“Republicans are doing nothing on gun violence prevention. Minnesotans have a right to safe movie theaters, safe churches, safe college campuses and safe schools, and they won't get that unless we address gun violence.”
