Massachusetts women targeted by gun advocates
A campaign opposing recent gun safety legislation in Massachusetts has launched a fear-based ad illustrating a woman’s encounter with an intruder. The legislation aims to strengthen the state’s red flag law, tighten licensing, and improve ghost gun tracking, but opponents claim it restricts Second Amendment rights. Despite assertions that these measures do not hinder lawful gun ownership, critics highlight that gun ownership, especially among women, remains strong, and research indicates guns in homes increase safety risks, including higher risks of domestic violence and suicide. The repeal effort, led by the Civil Rights Coalition, is facing growing opposition and poor polling, with women playing a prominent role in campaigning against the measures.
