The San Francisco 49ers announced Thursday they are pledging $500,000 toward supporting gun control legislation.
According to ESPN.com’s Nick Wagoner, the Niners said they—along with local and national law enforcement—are signing a pledge for a “more understanding and safer America.”
The legislation would ban mechanisms that can make a semi-automatic weapon an automatic weapon, in addition to silencers and armor-piercing bullets.
Per Robert Salonga of the Mercury News, a portion of the 49ers’ donation will go toward nationally televised public service announcements meant to ease tension between law enforcement and those who fear police violence.
