SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Building on a sit-in staged by House Democrats in the nation’s capitol last week, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and members of the Bay Area congressional delegation Wednesday gathered in San Francisco to call for House Republicans to allow a vote on gun control bills.
The rally at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Wednesday afternoon brought Pelosi and U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee, Mike Thompson, Mike Honda and Eric Swalwell together with gun control advocates, gun violence survivors and local leaders as part of a national day of action on gun violence prevention.
The event is one of many held around the country today calling for a vote on federal bills that would expand background check requirements for gun purchases and prohibit those on the federal “no fly” list from buying guns, according to event organizers. For the full article click here
