PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Advocates for gun control are gathering in Providence to demand reforms.
Volunteers with the Rhode Island chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are staging a rally Saturday morning to honor victims of the latest U.S. mass shootings and call for tougher gun legislation.
Organizers say they’re pressing for a strong federal “red flag” bill and legislation requiring background checks on all gun sales.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America describes itself as a grassroots movement fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence.
