The Democrat-controlled Senate voted against legislation in April that would have expanded background checks for firearm purchases to gun shows and online sales. "If you do not have a safe city, you do not have a city," Conference of Mayors executive director Tom Cochran said. "We remember those babies in Connecticut and the people who were shot in the Batman movie. At an annual meeting, it would be derelict on our part if we did not call attention to the need for Congress to take action." Gunmen's rampages at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and in a Colorado movie theater last year led to gun control advocates' renewed push for more firearm restrictions. At the meeting, big-city leaders including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will tell of their struggles with crime, foreclosures and unemployment rates, and share ideas for leadership strategies. The roster of more than 100 resolutions leans heavily toward social issues. In addition to background checks for guns, the mayors will weigh resolutions calling for comprehensive immigration reform, state determination of marijuana laws, and support for urban agriculture...."[/i][/b] [b][i][u][color=red] The most dangerous cities in America, 2013[/color][/u][/i][/b] [b]http://homes.yahoo.com/news/the-most-dangerous-cities-in-america--2013-201732579.html[/b] [/quote]

RIGHT
to own guns.
