In a letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) obtained by Political Correction, 11 survivors of January's Tucson, Arizona mass shooting who attended yesterday's hearing on the Fix Gun Checks Act demand an apology from the senator for his "obvious disregard for the gun violence survivors in the room" and "apparent ignorance of the deadly serious issue we came to discuss with you."
More than 50 gun violence survivors traveled to Capitol Hill yesterday for a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the bill, which would require a background check for every gun sale and facilitate getting into the federal background check system all mental health records that would prohibit gun ownership.
