Senator Patty Murray, others advocates for gun safety legislation
SEATTLE — Senator Patty Murray is speaking Friday along with other advocates to call for gun-safety legislation.
Murray, the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, is holding a press conference alongside State Representative Liz Berry, Washington Alliance for Gun Safety CEO Renée Hopkins, Lincoln High sophomore Chetan Soni and others.
"While Washington state already has many of these measures in place at the state level, Senator Murray has made clear that the epidemic of gun violence in America cannot be fully addressed without federal action," Murray's office said in a release. "Senator Murray has cosponsored important firearm legislation proposals in this Congress. Most notably, she is a cosponsor of the Background Check Expansion Act, the Assault Weapons Ban Act, and the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act (ERPO is another term used for red flag laws). Senator Murray also applauded President Biden’s decision to treat ghost guns as deadly weapons and is a cosponsor of the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act. Following the Uvalde school shooting, Senator Murray delivered a speech on the Senate floor, calling on Republicans to answer the call of the American people and come to the table to make progress on gun violence prevention."
