Maloney to Hold Additional Community Forums on Gun Violence This Weekend

Mar 8, 2018
Press Release
Will Hold Events in Middletown, Brewster, Beacon

Newburgh, NY — After holding an in-person community forum on gun violence in our schools attended by hundreds of Hudson Valley residents, Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) will hold three more events this coming weekend in response to popular demand. Rep. Maloney’s community forums on gun violence provide folks in the Hudson Valley the opportunity to connect with their Representative in-person to voice their concerns, offer suggestions, and ask questions about the status of gun safety efforts in Congress.  

“We keep getting requests to hold more forums, so we’re going to be responsive to that and give as many people as possible a chance to make their voices heard on this critical safety issue,” said Rep. Maloney. “I look forward to connecting with even more folks in the Hudson Valley to hear ideas and answer questions.”

Over 200 people attended Rep. Maloney’s community forum on gun violence in our schools last Saturday in Poughkeepsie. After the event, several individuals contacted Rep. Maloney’s office and requested that he hold additional events to give more people in the Hudson Valley the opportunity to weigh in on this important and timely issue.

Rep. Maloney supports strong federal efforts to combat the gun violence epidemic, including: banning assault weapons, raising the purchasing age, improving the National Instant Background Check System (NICS), implementing universal background checks and closing the gun show loophole, as well as repealing the Dickey Amendment, which has prevented research on gun violence at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
