The fight for gun sense in America

[billh58]

Amy Ramaker is a chapter leader with the California chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and became involved with the organization after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children.

Since 2014 she’s been with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and the organization has “worked diligently to affect change in our gun laws in every state and also on the Federal level. ”

“We know how to be the David to the National Rifle Association’s Goliath – we’ve been taking them on and winning in statehouses across the country. We came out of the 2016 election stronger than ever—with a rapidly growing network of grassroots volunteers who dedicated their time and money to talk to millions of voters around the country about gun safety. And now, we will bring that fight and our dedication to standing up for public safety to Washington, DC.”

Is it a fight that can be won?

“Yes,” she says. “There are certainly days that are frustrating, but California is a great example of progress. Last legislative session, Governor Brown signed a bill into law that closed a loophole in our background check system. This legislative session we are supporting a bill that will make sure guns are not allowed in our children’s classrooms. And most of all, it’s the good fight; it’s the fight for our children. We are on the right side of history.”

Contrary to the ranting of the "cold-dead-hands" NRA imbeciles, public opinion and local laws are slowly turning to sanity and reason against the epidemic of gun violence in our streets and communities. It is courageous individuals like Amy Ramaker who are leading the fight against the right-wing gun lobby and their hero Trumpty Dumpty.
