(Politico) New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun violence group is launching a cross-country bus tour this month as the next step in its push for stricter gun control measures.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns' bus tour will start June 14 to mark the six-month anniversary of the Newtown, Conn. massacre, taking gun violence survivors, their families and friends and law enforcement officials to 25 states in 100 days, according to a job posting by the group.
"They will read the names of victims of gun violence and urge their representatives in Congress to support legislation that would require comprehensive background checks," the ad reads.
