Related: About this forumMoms Demand Action hits home
There was Virginia Tech, then NIU where my daughter now studies, and when the Sandy Hook Massacre happened in 2012, I said Enough is enough! Its time to do something about this.
This was the answer Annie Craig of Aurora gave when I asked her why she had gone to Indianapolis recently to attend a gathering of the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
Why Indianapolis? Because thats where the National Rifle Association was holding its annual meeting.
We wanted to go calmly, quietly, and unarmed to protest their leadership and the extremism they are promoting, said Craig.

(2,375 posts)3. Until the Mom's demand a few things of themselves, they have no
moral authority to make demands of anyone else. They're just a pathetic joke.
Here's a few suggestions, Mom's:
*Take a few minutes on Wikipedia and find out what the definition of "assault weapons" are. In order to get a clear picture, you'll likely also need to search 'semi-automatic' firearm.
*Do enough research to find out what percentage of guns are actually used in crime, and most importantly -- WHO is using them.
*Confront your blind ideology by listening to what highly credentialed LIBERAL "gun control" skeptics/criminologists have to say.
Ignore this advice at your own risk -- as doing so will only empower the NRA.
