MAYOR BROWN TO ATTEND MAYORS AGAINST ILLEGAL GUNS NATIONAL SUMMIT

Over 120 U.S. Mayors to Share Ideas/Strategies in Curbing Illegal Guns

BUFFALO – Mayor Byron W. Brown is scheduled to attend a national summit of Mayors Against Illegal Guns to be held in Washington, DC on January 23, 2007.  The objective of this full-day event is for mayors to share ideas and strategies on this critical issue, as well as to share with the new Congress the coalition’s agenda to combat illegal guns.

Formed in April 2006, Mayor Brown is an original member of the coalition, which has grown to over 120 mayors from across the United States.

“As an original member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, I look forward to meeting again with my fellow mayors from across the country and sharing ideas on strategies and tactics that can curtail the plague of illegal guns circulating through our communities,” said Mayor Brown.  “We all know this is a national problem that affects our cities in various ways, but through a collective, coordinated effort I am confident we can share and borrow best practices that will assist our individual law enforcement activities.  The strength of our specific municipal anti-crime, anti-illegal gun tactics will be aided greatly by the unified action of this organization.”

In the six months since the original summit of 15 mayors in April 2006, the coalition has grown to over 120 members, representing every region of the nation.  This is not an issue of ideology; it’s an issue of law enforcement.  That’s why the coalition includes Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.  Together, they have focused their energies on sharing cutting-edge policing and legal strategies and identifying opportunities for greater coordination in combating the flow of illegal guns.  The 2007 Summit in Washington is an opportunity for all members of the coalition to continue coordinating their local efforts against illegal guns, and to expand our efforts to enlist federal support.
