MASS DEMS WEB VIDEO: WHAT DOES MATTER TO REPUBLICAN CHARLIE BAKER?
BOSTON – After the reaction from news reports that Republican Charlie Baker refused to tell voters if he believes police chiefs should have discretion to deny issuing firearm I.D. card licenses to people trying to purchase shotguns and rifles – the same discretion police chiefs already have on handguns – the Massachusetts Democratic Party released the following web video.
“While the legislature worked out a compromise, Republican Baker still has not told voters where he stands on what police chiefs believe is an important measure to keep guns off our streets- he keeps saying ‘it doesn’t matter’ when it comes time to take a stand on tough issues,” said Executive Director Matt Fenlon.
