Furthermore, Wolf believes that the bill “will make important strides to protect victims and reduce violence.” However, he said, “There is more work to be done.” He is looking forward to working with the state legislature to “enact additional commonsense reforms to reduce violence, support victims and keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.”
Earlier this year, the governor signed into law Senate Bill 449 also known as Tierne’s Law, which gives judges additional tools to protect victims of domestic violence. Wolf supports a package of Senate domestic violence reform bills.
Maintaining Second Amendment rights responsibly
Meanwhile, Quinn praised the state Senate for passing House Bill 2060. She said, “There is no better time to advance this legislation to the governor’s desk than during October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month.”
Quinn thanked those who recognized that the bill is “responsible way for convicted and proven abusers to relinquish their firearms” to prevent “senseless domestic violence.”
