Every year, 12,000 Americans fall victim to gun murder, destroying families and harming communities. Mayors have a responsibility to protect their communities by punishing gun offenders and traffickers, holding irresponsible gun dealers accountable, fixing gaps in the background check system, and demanding access to trace data that is critical to law enforcement efforts to combat illegal gun trafficking. In April 2006, an initial group of 15 mayors, hosted by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, held a summit in New York City to discuss strategies for stopping the flow of illegal guns into America's cities. The mayors attending the summit drafted and signed a statement of principles to guide their efforts. Since then, the coalition's bipartisan ranks have now grown to more than 500 mayors, and the statement of principles has been endorsed by major national organizations such as the US Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities. The coalition offers several services to help member mayors in their fight against illegal guns. It highlights successful strategies from across the country. It keeps them updated not only on model local legislation,but also on relevant bills as they are considered in state capitals and in Washington. It also connects members to experts in the field who can help develop new initiatives.
