New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday that President Obama and Congress should place gun control “at the top of their agenda.” Bloomberg said in a statement:

“What happened in Newtown was an unspeakable crime – a mass murder in which six- and seven-year-old children were gunned down in their classrooms, along with their elementary school teachers and administrators. Gun violence is a national epidemic – and a national tragedy – that demands more than words. It demands immediate national action, from the President and from Congress.  It needs to be at the top of their agenda.”
