Prof. Megan Walsh and Student David Lamb Write Op-Ed in Star Tribune About Gun Violence by Domestic Abusers 

Professor Megan Walsh, director of Minnesota Law’s Gun Violence Prevention Clinic, and David Lamb '24, student director of the domestic violence prevention team, wrote an Op-Ed in the Star Tribune on gun violence by domestic abusers, in light of the recent deaths of first responders in Burnsville. They wrote, “This tragedy should have been avoidable. Federal laws as well as statutes in every state prohibit domestic abusers from having access to guns. The perpetrator of the triple homicide in Burnsville was one such offender. After being convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon, he was barred from possessing firearms. Yet in the Feb. 18 shooting, he fired hundreds of rounds from multiple guns.”
