Conference of Mayors Calls for Stricter Gun Laws

Following Sunday’s horrific shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, Michael Nutter, Philadelphia mayor and president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, released a statement Monday and argued the tragedy signaled the need for stricter gun laws in the U.S. that would help “prevent senseless tragedies.”
The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official “nonpartisan” organization of cities with populations greater than 30,000. There are currently 1,295 cities in the organization and each one is represented by its mayor.
It is unclear whether Nutter reached out to other mayors in the U.S. Conference of Mayors before calling for gun control on behalf of the entire organization. However, according to its website, the group has generally supported stricter gun regulations.
