The Dallas Mavericks are asking fans to contact their elected representatives and demand they take action to address gun violence in the country.
The NBA's Dallas Mavericks are encouraging fans to get involved in the conversation about guns in this country.
Following the mass shooting at a Allen, Texas, mall that left eight people dead, the Mavericks issued a statement that said"hearts and prayers" going out to the victims is not enough. "On behalf of our children and other victims, please contact your federal, state and local representatives to demand action and save lives," the statement says.The 33-year-old gunman was reportedly armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun when he opened fire upon shoppers at the mall, The Associated Pressreported. Democrats and Republicans appear to be far apart on solutions to stop mass shootings.
Congress is currently split. Republicans control the House and Democrats control the Senate, meaning there is little chance President Biden's request will be fulfilled. Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
