The Hood River City Council approved a resolution in support of legislation to require comprehensive background checks for gun sales.  Mayor Paul Blackburn had brought the topic to Councilors earlier this month, and the resolution was formally approved by the panel this week.  Blackburn said even though such legislation falls under the jurisdiction of state and local officials, he felt the topic was worthy of the Council making its opinion known.  The resolution will be given to all members of the Oregon congressional delegation, the state legislature, and the Governor’s office.
