We've lost too many people to gun violence. As co-chair of #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns the law @POTUS signed:

✅Funds red flag laws to keep guns out of the hands of
people who are a danger to themselves and others,
✅Closes the “boyfriend loophole",

I join the frustration of my fellow mayors on the issue of gun violence. We hear demands for change, we WANT change, but our cities are at the mercy of state leaders who refuse to budge. We all deserve better from those who have the power to change this. https://t.co/lQ9v6X1Vjt

As a #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns co-chair, I know how important it is that we get ghost guns off our streets. @ATFHQ’s rule & @POTUS’ nomination of Steve Dettelbach for ATF director show this administration is serious about protecting our communities from gun violence.

In an effort to combat senseless gun violence in El Monte and across America, I’m proud to announce I have joined #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns, a national coalition of more than 1,000 current and former mayors committed to ending gun violence.

A strong, experienced ATF leader is essential to combating the rise in gun violence plaguing our nation. I proudly join @usmayors and mayors across the country in urging the Senate to confirm ATF nominee Steve Dettelbach this week.  https://t.co/sW2bpKwF33

I have remained committed to curbing the violence that plagues our city’s streets, but as long as people who are not legally allowed to possess a firearm have the opportunity to obtain and build tools of death and violence, we will not be able to build a safer Baltimore. pic.twitter.com/Q8zZhvS68J
