Bloomberg, House Dems call for stricter gun control
Source: MSNBC
New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg, as well as several House Democrats, are seizing on Fridays school shooting in Newtown, Conn. to make the case for stricter gun control.
President Obama rightly sent his heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown, Bloomberg, a frequent advocate of stricter gun laws, said in a statement after the shooting, which killed 27 people, 20 of them children. But the country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem. Calling for meaningful action is not enough. We need immediate action.
The New York City mayors office tweeted: For every day we wait, 34 more people are murdered with guns. Today, many of them were five-year olds.
At the White House Friday, Obama called for meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics. His spokesman, Jay Carney, had earlier said todays not the day for a discussion of gun control.

My friend Ann told me the Woolworths downtown refused to serve her a drink several decades ago, because of her skin color: it's been torn down now, and in 2008 I stood in the lot where it had been to watch a huge outdoor TV screen as Obama was elected President. Things change. We can make things change.

(13 posts)NYC has some of the strictist gun control laws in the country, yet he goes about his business with an armed escort. If gun control works, why does he need armed protection? He shouldn't have any worries since we know that criminals obey the laws. Why should he be able to protect himself against the bad guys, yet us lowly civilains can't?
