NYC Mayor’s Office calls for gun law discussions

Dec 14, 2012, 3:30 PM | Updated: 3:30 pm

In the wake of the Newtown, Conn. shooting that claimed the lives of nearly 30 people, cries for better gun control in America cropped up almost immediately.

A few hours after the shooting, the New York City Mayor’s Office joined those calling for a discussion of gun laws.

While it is surely not the last tweet to be sent on the topic, it falls in line with a statement made by President Barack Obama that America needs to take meaningful action when it comes to guns.

We want to hear from you.
