Sign o' the Times (Square)

Mayors Against Illegal Guns co-chair and New York City Mayor
Michael R. Bloomberg today launched the FixGunChecks.org Truck Tour
in New York City’s Times Square.







The FixGunChecks.org truck features a mobile billboard that will travel the country for two months to draw public attention to the deadly problems in the nation’s gun background check system.
The truck features a clock that will toll the tragic count of Americans that have been murdered with guns since the Tucson shooting.
Thirty-four people are murdered with guns every day in the United States.
The truck tour is part of an online campaign, www.fixgunchecks.org that urges Congress to take two simple but critical steps to fix the broken background check system: 1) ensure that the names of all people prohibited from buying a gun are in the database; and 2) subject every gun sale to a background check. Since the campaign launched in January, more than 250,000 people have signed an online petition and urged the President and Congress to fix the system.
