More than 300 mayors attended the conference this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are seeing no movement out of the capital and our communities are begging for this change,&#8221; said Whaley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mayors are on the front line of this issue,\u201d she said. &#8220;We will continue to be on the front line of this issue because we have no other choice. Because we get the calls at night when someone in our communities has died from insane gun violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;I want Washington to do something that\u2019s meaningful for our community.&#8221;<br \/><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"she said (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wdtn.com\/news\/local-news\/whaley-says-addressing-gun-violence-is-top-of-list-at-mayors-conference-in-d-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mayors-asks-congress-gun-control-laws\" title=\"U.S. Conference Of Mayors Asks Congress to Pass New Gun Control Laws\" target=\"_blank\">she <\/a>continued. &#8220;These are all national issues that have just been completely  ignored in the city for the past few years and we want action. We can take care of ourselves, we\u2019re a gritty, resilient city that doesn\u2019t count on anyone else. But we want action and a real partnership out of  this city and we&#8217;re not really seeing that.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whaley and others are pushing to increase regulations regarding &#8220;ghost guns,&#8221; or guns made at home from parts and kits. Whaley also urged Congress to crack down on illegal guns and gun violence on the federal level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dayton made headlines last year <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"following a shooting (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/at-least-10-may-be-dead-in-dayton-ohio-gunfire-reports\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mayors-asks-congress-gun-control-laws\" title=\"U.S. Conference Of Mayors Asks Congress to Pass New Gun Control Laws\" target=\"_blank\">following a shooting<\/a> that left nine dead including the shooter.
