May 14th, we mothers will go to Washington D.C. either to celebrate sensible legislation or to protest bipartisan ineptitude. We call upon Congress to require all handgun owners to be licensed and they be required to register their weapons with the proper authorities. It makes sense. Safety Locks for all Handguns Guns, like every other consumer product sold in America, have to meet minimum safety standards. Gun manufacturers should have to design guns with locks built in, and with other commonsense features like loaded-chamber indicators and childproofing.
Limit purchases to one hand gun per month.
We believe it is only common sense to end straw purchase transactions where an individual who may legally purchase a firearm is hired to purchase firearms for gun traffickers. The guns are sold on the illegal market and eventually wind up on our nation's streets, killing our kids. We call upon all officers of the law to assume a no-nonsense approach in enforcing existing gun laws and to join us in our mutual crusade for stronger legislation. We call on all child-friendly, non violent stores, companies, and corporations to sponsor us in these pursuits by advertising our message that guns in the wrong hands is a danger to all. Our goal is to educate and mobilize the Mothers of America to this cause.
