Firearm Sales Up + Crime Down = Gun Control Dead

摘要

On Dec. 14, gun control advocates will mark the one-year anniversary of the Newtown elementary school massacre by gathering at events in 35 states and ringing bells. "Moms won't be silent anymore," says Shannon Watts. In response to Newtown, Watts started Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a grassroots organization that has become the most visible new player in the gun debate. "Something changed after Sandy Hook," she says of the grade school where 20 children and six adults were killed in a matter of minutes by a troubled young man armed with a Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle. "We can't unring that bell, and we will be heard. This is not the America I want for my children."
