Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America took a stand with Organizing for Action on Bayshore Blvd and Bay to Bay Blvd in Tampa on Saturday. The 25 activists rallied to support gun reforms floating in Congress. Many of them said they were gun owners and even NRA members and spoke adamantly about their support of the 2nd Amendment, but they also believed that the safety of their children was worth taking a stand for sensible laws.
Shannon Watts founded Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America in response to the Sandy Hook tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. Moms Demand Action believes there is a way to “preserve the Second Amendment while also having common sense gun laws.”
Their objectives include placing a “ban on assault weapons and ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.” Among several other goals, they also aim to “require background checks for all gun and ammunition purchases.”
“We support Common Sense Gun Laws and the 2nd Amendment.” Maggie Larguier and the Florida West Central and East Central Chapter of Moms Demand Gun Sense in America stressed their middle-ground stance on gun control.
