AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ A national gun-control group co-founded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is holding a rally in Maine.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns is holding a rally in Augusta on Monday as part of its 25-state national bus tour aimed at drumming up support for background checks and other measures it says will reduce gun violence. The tour kicked off Friday, six months after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 children and six educators.
Monday's rally begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Augusta Area Unitarian Universalist Community Church.
A former police chief, a pastor, the mother of a murder victim, the head of a Maine gun control advocacy group and a military veteran are slated to speak.
