COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - On Tuesday, in a letter addressed to Senate Leadership, 152 mayors across the country called on senators to consider two pieces of legislation to curb gun violence. Two bills are currently under consideration, HR 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, and HR 1446, the Enhanced Background Checks Act. The goals of both bills are to strengthen the gun background check system.
Seven Mayors across Texas signed the bipartisan letter, saying the proposed bills would close serious loopholes in the background check system and prevent dangerous individuals from circumventing the laws and obtaining deadly weapons.
With recent shootings across the country and a mass shooting locally that wounded six and claimed the life of one, College Station Mayor Karl Mooney voiced his support in the letter to Senators. Mooney says he, along with other members of the United States Conference of Mayors, felt that voicing their concern was important.
