I ran into my friend and West Marlborough neighbor Starr Bright the other day and on the spot she e-mailed me a press release about an upcoming gun control meeting. It will be at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, at Westminster Presbyterian Church (at Route 202 and Pleasant Grove Road), West Chester. The topic will be the "BET strategy" that the Gun Sense US group is advocating: background checks before every firearm purchase, extreme risk protection order (temporary removal of firearms from a person who is a threat to himself or others), and mandatory training before a firearm purchase.
Starr has some skin in the game regarding this issue: she was a gunshot victim 30 years ago and has been dealing with the after-effects ever since.
