Columbus

Another school shooting has shocked us — this time just 60 miles away in Noblesville. Please join local Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America members from 5:30 to 7 p.m. today, north of the courthouse at the corner of Third and Washington streets, as we rally for actions to keep our kids safe.

Or, come learn more about this grassroots organization started by one mom after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 — and our newly formed Columbus chapter.

Moms seeks to:

  • Close the deadly loopholes in our background check system that allow dangerous people like felons and domestic abusers easy access to guns.
  • Support reasonable limits on where, when and how loaded guns are carried and used in public.
  • Promote gun safety so that America’s children will no longer be exposed to an unacceptable level of risk.
  • Mobilize popular support for policies that respect Second Amendment rights and protect people.
