“Every day, police officers are putting their lives on the line to protect their communities from well-armed criminals,”

“Too many Americans are victims of gun violence, including many police officers wounded or killed in the line of duty,” said Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee, who served in Congress for a decade. “That’s not going to change until elected officials, including our federal partners, stand with law enforcement and give them the tools and the policies they need to serve and protect our communities safely.”
