Mayor Jerramiah Healy has long been a vocal advocate for stricter gun-control laws.
Mandi Perlmutter, who helps run One Million Moms for Gun Control’s New Jersey chapter, said the nationwide group wants to “bring some common sense” to the discussion over gun violence.
“The goal was to do for gun control and gun violence what MADD did for drunk driving,” Perlmutter said, referring to advocacy group Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
