Washington, D.C. - October 6, 2017 (The Ponder News) -- The American Bar Association joins our country in mourning the innocent people who lost their lives in Las Vegas and our sympathies go out to all those who were injured and traumatized by this pointless attack.
In the aftermath of yet another tragic mass shooting in America, more than sympathy is needed. The ABA will rededicate its efforts to facilitate changes to stop senseless gun deaths.
Legal experts from all backgrounds agree this can be done through sensible regulations, legislation and widespread education that can protect the safety of individuals and their constitutional rights. And the ABA is working with a broad coalition of medical societies and health organizations to address gun violence as a critical public health problem.
Effective and constitutional solutions exist. It is past time to work together to enact them.
Go to www.abalegalfactcheck.com for the ABA’s new feature that cites case and statutory law and other legal precedents to distinguish legal fact from fiction.
With more than 400,000 members, the American Bar Association is one of the largest voluntary professional membership organizations in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.
