Moms Demand Action hits home [View all]

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!’ It’s 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 that’s 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.
