Barnstable Democrats

We’re proud to have the endorsement of The Boston Globe. After speaking to both sides about the 2024 gun safety law, “The Globe editorial board strongly endorses a yes vote on 9 to keep the law in place."

“But the fact that criminals, by definition, won’t follow laws isn’t a good reason not to have them. Laws provide a tool for prosecuting criminals and, if crafted correctly, can help prevent crime — for example, by taking a gun away from someone accused of domestic violence.” – The Boston Globe Editorial Board
