    Bloomberg was joined Monday by family and friends of those injured and killed in the shootings in Tucson, Ariz., at Virginia Tech and at Columbine High School in Colorado.

    The group introduced a national campaign to close loopholes in gun control laws. The campaign wants to ensure that a background check system includes the names of everyone prohibited from buying guns.

    Supporters also want every gun sale to go through a background check.

    I’m sure the NRA will oppose this just as they have opposed closing these loopholes in the past.
