34 Americans each day
From Mayors Against Illegal Guns:
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced new legislation to get all records of criminals, drug abusers, and the mentally ill, who are already prohibited by law from buying guns, into the background check system, and also to require background checks for every gun sale. The new bill is modeled on a proposal issued by Mayors Against Illegal Guns. The announcement featured a video focusing on the 34 people who are killed with guns every day in the United States. The coalition’s Fix Gun Checks Truck Tour is currently in Columbus, OH, where a new statewide poll finds that the majority of Ohioans, including gun owners, strongly support a sensible approach to gun laws that protects the Second Amendment rights of law abiding gun owners while also keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and other dangerous individuals.
