People across the country marked Gun Violence Awareness Day this weekend, as the push for change intensifies after several recent mass shootings.
People marched across the bridge, many with the Moms Demand Action group and while some people came with their family.“Everyday when I drop my daughter off in school, every single day, I have anxiety. I have anxiety that my kid is going to be harmed," she said."We need to ban assault weapons. We need red flags laws. We need background checks. The majority of American people want that.
“You know, I think there is a difference in the American people. I think the pain and anguish and anxiety is welling up in the American people. The question is, is there a difference in the U.S. Senate? and that’s what got to be tested,” she said. In the meantime, the debate continues in Washington as opponents said that certain restrictions punish law abiding citizens without improving safety.“Because, we don’t want to see this again. This is not OK. And we shouldn’t be experiencing this,” said San Francisco resident Jill Maddux.
