Terrible tragedies like this should not be a regular occurrence - and I will keep pushing for gun safety legislation. My prayers are with those harmed and their families tonight." As a lawmaker who advocates for gun safety, Brown reiterated her commitment to pursuing legislation aimed at reducing gun violence.
