“Mothers will not rest until there is change. The alarm sounded for us after
Sandy Hook, the 16th mass shooting of 2012, and now we are going to deliver our
elected officials a wake-up call,” said Shannon Watts, founder of One Million
Moms for Gun Control. “The rapid growth of social media, the organizing power of
mothers, and our fierce, boundless love for our families will ensure our
success.”

For moms unable to attend the events in New York City and the Beltway, local
city chapters of One Million Moms for Gun Control are planning local rallies and
marches on Sat., Jan. 26. For example, the greater Boston-area One Million Moms
for Gun Control chapter is organizing a march at the State House.

In addition, One Million Moms for Gun Control will launch a national social
media campaign called “How do you wear your heart?” on Sat., Jan. 19, to enable
moms across the country creatively connect and express their views on gun
control. Members will be provided with templates for a signature heart, which
they can pin over their heart and wear publicly in support of One Million Moms
for Gun Control. Moms will be asked to take pictures of themselves wearing their
pin and email them to photos@1mm4gc.org, or Tweet and Instagram the photos using
the hashtags #1MM4GC #howdoyouwearyourheart #momsdemandaction.

  1. It is ironic that the failure of a woman who was incapable of protecting the community from her own son would cause a massive loss of life. Now we have a gang of women intent on shredding the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Mothers of mentally deranged children are responsible for keeping society safe from your sick, twisted offspring.

    Get a grip, people. Firearms do not jump out of gun cases and closets, roam the streets, and decimate the population! If your adult child is incapable of leading an independent life as a responsible adult he (or she) has no business owning a pistol, rifle, or shotgun! Firearms do not jump off of shelves by themselves, run out into the streets, break into schools and movie theaters, and murder people!

  2. So “One Million” moms has “ten of thousands” of members? And it launches within 24 hours of Sandy Hook. Sounds like an activist group waiting for a crisis.
