BOSTON - U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, is proposing a bill that would offer $20 million annually for five years in incentive money for states that bring their gun licensing standards in line with those in Massachusetts, which are among the strictest in the country.
"Our gun safety bills are a model for other states, and I believe for the U.S. Congress to follow," Markey said, flanked by police officials at a Monday press conference at the Boston Police Department headquarters.
Massachusetts has the lowest rate of deaths from gun violence in the country. Advocates for gun control attribute this to the state's strict gun laws, which include a ban on assault weapons and strict licensing standards.
