Gun Safety Legislation Needed in Congress

Gun Safety Legislation Needed in Congress

May 25, 2022

Yesterday's horrific mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, represents our government's continued failure to act against gun violence. The National Hispanic Medical Association grieves the loss of 22 innocent lives in Uvalde, Texas - a community that is 83.5% Hispanic. As a key representative of Hispanic interests and well-being, NHMA is devastated by this senseless and preventable loss of life. The incessant waves of gun violence in our country will not cease until policymakers pass gun safety legislation to protect our society. NHMA calls upon policy-makers in Texas and the U.S. Congress to set aside personal interests and carry out the long-overdue work needed to protect their constituents.
