BALTIMORE — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg brought his campaign for tougher gun laws here Monday, calling for the White House and Congress to support universal background checks for all firearms sales, stiffer penalties for gun traffickers and limits on the sales of assault weapons with high capacity ammunition clips.

"Enough is enough," Bloomberg said. "It is time for Congress to put public health above special interests and politics."
