NEW YORK – Children of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert Kennedy lent their names Monday to the campaign of Mayors Against Illegal Guns to demand background checks for all gun purchases in the wake of the deadly mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona.
'For decades we have tolerated senseless gun violence, which has struck down too many of our fellow citizens, particularly our young people,' Martin Luther King III, president and CEO of the King Center, said in a statement.
'If we want to create a nonviolent society, we must enforce our public safety laws to keep the angry and dangerous few from destroying the peace and harmony of the many,' said the son of the slain civil rights leader."
