Bloomberg wants to strengthen gun laws

"Mayor Michael Bloomberg is calling on the federal government to strengthen laws to keep drug addicts and abusers from obtaining weapons."

Bloomberg had a conference meeting pointing out loopholes in the governments system of enforcing the law. "The mayor said that the "system that's supposed to protect us from dangerous and deranged people has failed."
Bloomberg decides to come out now with this stiuation when it has been going on for years under the "Black Market" simply because an incident  with a 22 year old man in Arizona had beared arms killing six people and wounded 14 people including a congresswomen as well. The man is held without bail due to the shooting. The man "Loughner" had a past history of drug use and was denied from the military when he had signed up.
In conclusion, laws have been passed but not many are enforcing it as much as they should be which also results in the death rates going up as well.
Bloomberg says there are three common sense steps to take in order to fix the nation's gun laws. They include fixing background checks, improving communication between federal agencies, and appointing a director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
