Hat tip to the Gungeon for finding this valuable resource for action against gun violence.

"Much like Mothers Against Drunk Driving was created to reduce drunk driving, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America (www.momsdemandaction.org) was created to demand action from legislators, state and federal; companies; and educational institutions to establish common-sense gun reforms. We are a non-partisan grassroots movement of American mothers demanding new and stronger solutions to lax gun laws, loopholes and policies that for too long have jeopardized the safety of our children and families.

Moms Demand Action supports the 2nd Amendment, but we believe common-sense solutions can help decrease the escalating epidemic of gun violence that kills an American child every 3 hours and 15 minutes. Whether the gun violence happens in urban Chicago, suburban Virginia, or rural Texas, we must act now on new and stronger gun laws and policies to protect our children.

Moms Demand Action envisions a country where all children and families are safe from gun violence. Our nonpartisan grassroots movement is made up of more than 100,000 members and a chapter in every state across the country. We are educating, motivating, and mobilizing moms and families to take action that will result in stronger laws and policies to save lives. We support these solutions to help address gun violence in the United States:

1.Require background checks for all gun and ammunition purchases;
2.Ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds;
3.Track the sale of large quantities of ammunition, and ban online sales;
4.Establish product safety oversight of guns and ammunition, and require child-safe gun technology;
5.Support policies at companies and public institutions that promote gun safety;
6.Counter the gun industry’s efforts to weaken gun laws at the state level."

Public awareness of the gun violence problem is growing, along with support for more gun regulation initiatives. The NRA and its apologists are slowly but surely being countered politically, and their lies and misinformation are being exposed.
