Hundreds gathered in Allen demanding changes in gun laws one week after a gunman killed eight people and injured seven others at a mall.
State Rep. Jeff Leach , whose district includes Allen, said he is an unwavering supporter of the second amendment. At the same time, he said he was open to meaningful discussions on possible policies to prevent tragedies like the shooting in Allen.“I believe that bill, on the face, is unconstitutional,” Leach said.
“However, I do believe there are other bills including one of my own that would have gone a long way in preventing guns from getting into the wrong hands. In the situation of the Allen shooter, that law there would have done nothing to prevent the shooter who was 33 years old.”“It doesn’t end here. We’re going to get louder,” Wallace said.
