The U.S. Senate is considering legislation to expand background checks for gun buyers. On Tuesday, Morehouse College students and members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns rallied to pressure Georgia’s U.S. Senators to pass the measure.
Morehouse senior Ronnie Moseley believes the measure’s passage would keep more illegal guns out of the hands of criminals and reduce gun violence on college campuses.
“And we want to do everything we can to influence that.”
Mosely grew up in Chicago and is no stranger to gun violence. He thought he would escape the violence by moving to Atlanta, but during his freshman year Spelman student Jasmine Lynn was killed by a stray bullet on Clark Atlanta University’s campus. More recently, Mosely says Morehouse student Cornelius Savage was shot and injured on campus.
