The San Francisco 49ers are holding a press conference Thursday morning in which they will join with major police unions to sign a “Pledge for a More Understanding and Safer America.” The event takes place at 11:45 a.m., and the 49ers are contributing $500,000 to the campaign.
The pledge is combining more work in improving police and community relationships and legislative advocacy for things lock a bump stock ban, as well as bans on armor-piercing bullets and gun silencers. There had been talk about a bump stock ban following yet another mass shooting, this time in Las Vegas.
