Laura Cutiletta, senior staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said the effort in the states has been aided by a group of mothers who have organized since the Newtown shootings. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which celebrated its first anniversary Dec. 15, has made its presence known in legislatures across the country, she said.
“It’s the network we now have across the country (that is making a difference) and it happens to be moms who responded around the country. It’s because there are boots on the ground everywhere,” Cutiletta told CNS.
