House member David Rowe on WKOK’s On The Mark March 1, 2020
HARRISBURG – Following another mass shooting in the U.S., this time at Michigan State University, it revives the call for more gun laws.
Valley State Representative David Rowe (R-85th, Lewisburg) told WKOK’s On The Mark, there should be more focus on gun education, rather than continuing to spread fear, “(People can) learn how to use them and to defend themselves.”
“The media circuit is consumed by people who use firearms for evil, but those individuals who stop mass shootings, those individuals who are protecting themselves, those women who are able to walk home at night from work in safety, those stories never seem to make the news,” he said.
Rep. Rowe also says some major cities with strict gun laws are still having issues with gun violence anyway, “Chicago and Philadelphia should be some of the safest places in the nation due to having some of the strictest gun control laws, but actually, they’re the most dangerous.”
“I think it’s very difficult to have a conversation about further eroding people’s constitutional rights, after we’re just off of two years of the government banning worship, and threatening to remove children from their homes based on their parent’s personal medical decisions, businesses being shut down.”
