Press Conference With Governor Newsom Concerning Gun Violence

"Unfortunately, the United States experiences far more gun violence per person than virtually every other modern industrialized country in the world," Said Bennett, "and what accounts for this? The United States has one of the most pervasive gun cultures in the world supported by a powerful gun lobby. It is time for each of us to play a role in changing this culture. I was honored to stand with my colleagues in support of a package of bills designed to do just that."
