The Texas Legislature just cleared residents to legally carry guns on school campuses, and it’s readying legislation to legalize open carry everywhere in the state. But the pace of its reforms is tyrannically slow, according to longtime gun activist Kory Watkins, and in a new video, he says if lawmakers don’t speed up, they may face death.
Open carry extremists have shined a bright light on the NRA’s vision for the future of America, and it’s not pretty.
When will Kroger get serious about the health and safety of their customers and employees?
YEAR IN REVIEW: Volunteers from Moms Demand Action, Students Demand Action and the Everytown Survivor Network had more than 1.2 million conversations with voters and helped register more than 100k voters across the country, along with partner organizations!
Millions of Americans are getting ready for Super Bowl Sunday, and making sure there are plenty of snacks at the party is a solemn responsibility.
But so is protecting our families – and that’s why we’ll be skipping Kroger when we’re doing our Super Bowl party shopping this weekend. Kroger still refuses to prohibit customers from openly carrying guns in their stores, and that puts all shoppers at risk.
Until Kroger get’s off the sidelines, will you join us in shopping with team #GunSense?
Majority of Kroger Customers Want an End to Open Carry
After more than 300,000 petition signatures and nearly 13,000 phone calls demanding that the nation’s largest supermarket chain stop allowing the open carry of guns in its stores, a new poll conducted by Benenson Strategy Group released today shows 64 percent of Kroger shoppers polled believe people should not be able to openly carry guns in Kroger stores.
Despite this opposition to Kroger’s policy allowing open carry of firearms — and even though a majority of states allow people to openly carry firearms without a background check, training or permit — Kroger so far has sided with a small group of gun extremists and refused to change its policy.
While Kroger has not yet changed its open carry policy, in recent weeks, New Seasons Market, a chain of more than a dozen grocery stores located in Oregon and Washington, and Panera Bread recently joined other major brands, including Target, Starbucks, Chipotle, Sonic, Jack in the Box, and Chili’s, in asking guests to leave their firearms at home.
Kroger claims to be a ‘Family of Stores,’ so where are their family values?
Is this what Trump means by “protecting our Second Amendment rights will Make America Great Again”?
If this is what his campaign looks like—then count us out on that vision for our country.
We want a safer America and it’s why we’re working to elect Hillary—someone who has put gun safety front and center in her campaign—the next president of the United States.
We’ve reached another tragic milestone.
There have been more than 200 school shootings since January 2013. At least 63 people were killed, and at least 156 injured in those shootings.
We need to elect leaders who support gun safety measures—not ones who push the NRA’s agenda of guns everywhere.
More than 400 Moms Demand Action volunteers, Students Demand Action leaders, and survivors of gun violence gathered in Tallahassee today to discuss gun violence prevention and urge legislators to act.
