Dads Take the "Gun Sense" Pledge!
In honor of Father's Day, Sunday, June 16, 2013, “Moms Demand Action” is asking Dads across the nation to join their fight in bringing gun sense to America to protect kids and keep them safe from gun violence. They are also asking Congress to join in the effort by working towards gun reform. They are spearheading this effort by encouraging others to make paper neckties and cards with a “gun sense message” to send to legislators and any fathers they may know.
