The Sudbury native said he isn’t “anti-gun,” but that he believes “certain weapons should only be in certain hands.”

Healey responded to Evans tweet, thanking him for standing up for “#gunsense.”

This isn’t the first time Evans has spokin out about gun reform. During the House Democrats’ gun control sit-in in June, Evans tweeted that he was proud of the politicians’ efforts and that the country needs “common sense gun reform.”
