Moms Definitely Know How . . .

MOMS KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH BULLIES: Open Carry Texas claims: "What we are doing is working, and society is coming to view ‘military style rifles’ in public as just another normal thing."   http://slate.me/1a4I2lG.

 Shannon Watts is leading Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.  If you saw her on "The Ed Show" or "All In With Chris Hayes" it probably surprised you to learn she's new to activism.   This mom's TV appearances would have caused me to believe she's had years of experience.  She's poised, articulate, to the point, soft-spoken, and determined—an impressive advocate for reasonable gun safety reforms.   The morning after Sandy Hook she googled gun safety organizations modeled on Mothers Against Drunk Driving and found none.  So she started her own advocacy group; now there are chapters of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in every state!  

 

Far better financed groups have tried taking on the NRA with little success; however, mothers and anyone else who's passionate about children's safety and well-being, make the strongest activists.  They're not easily intimidated or terrorized, even by a group of menacing people carrying "big guns" I can't name.  But some long guns looked capable of mowing down a crowd in a matter of seconds.  These openly armed people clearly came to intimidate four unarmed mothers who were meeting to talk about gun safety reform.  Not about "coming for their guns."

 

Many Americans are in a love relationship with their firearms.  And many of these people are fear-based.  "The Moms" love children, all children, and want to be assured of their safety—simple as that.  And they  don't like bullying.  Armed with determination, passion for the cause, and good common sense, the Moms have more courage than most of those Texas gun-toters.  They're proving it every day.   

 

Whether you're a mother or not, this grassroots organization will welcome you. Man or woman.  Please contact them today to join us in standing up to the National Rife Association and the other bullies seeking to intimidate, and even terrorize, the rest of us.
