HR Council To Look At Resolution For Background Checks On Gun Sales

Hood River City Councilors have given Mayor Paul Blackburn the go-ahead to prepare a resolution calling for Congress and the Oregon Legislature to require comprehensive background checks for firearm sales.  Blackburn presented a boilerplate version to Councilors to gauge interest, and says he will prepare a resolution for a vote at the panel’s February 24 meeting.  Blackburn says gun violence is an issue that needs to be addressed, adding he feels local officials should weigh in on issues like this on behalf of their constituents, even if they aren’t the eventual decision makers in the matter.
