DID YOU KNOW: Every day, 34 American families say goodbye to a parent, child, or sibling murdered with guns.  In this moving video, family members from across the country remember the loved ones they’ve lost and speak out about the real cost of gun violence.

FIXGUNCHECKS.org  is a project of Mayors Against Illegal Guns — a bi-partisan coalition of 550 American mayors, co-founded by Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York and our own Mayor Thomas Menino. 

The coalition has come together around a simple, straightforward idea: respect the rights of responsible law-abiding Americans and keep guns out of the hands of criminals, drug abusers, the mentally ill, and other dangerous people.

UNFORTUNATELY, the political debate about guns has gotten so loud that the voices of those closest to the issue can’t always be heard.  As we start building momentum for the newly announced Fix Gun Checks legislation, make sure you listen to their stories and see how gun violence affects us all.

ARE YOU TIRED OF THE VIOLENCE in Jamaica Plain, in our City and in our Country?
