Wilmington Apple covered David’s plan to make the investigation and prosecution of illegal gun trafficking a central public-safety priority for the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.

David’s proposal creates a dedicated Crime Gun Unit focused on tracing crime guns, identifying the networks bringing them into Massachusetts, and building cases against the traffickers behind the violence.

As David told the paper, “It is not enough merely to seize guns after a shooting.” A prosecutor’s office must work to stop the flow of illegal weapons before another family is put at risk.

The coverage underscores a straightforward commitment: gun crime must be treated “as a priority, not an afterthought.” David will bring focus, follow-through, and accountability to that work.
