The Moms Demand Action movement has been active in pushing for gun law reform across the country. However, it was inaction that the activist group's Missouri members demanded Wednesday as they gathered to rally in Jefferson City.
About 100 Missouri residents gathered in the Capitol's rotunda to demand that the Missouri General Assembly sustain Gov. Jay Nixon's veto on Senate Bill 656. The bill would allow people to conceal and carry a gun without a permit. It would also allow Missouri residents to use deadly force against perceived threats on public property, an extension of the existing castle doctrine.
Good for her but this bill has nothing to with that.Leading the charge in support of Nixon's veto is Becky Morgan, the chapter leader for Moms Demand Action in Missouri. Morgan's father was shot and killed in 1991 by a family member she says was prohibited from buying a gun in Missouri, but who was able to drive across the state border into Kentucky and purchase one. Morgan said that as a survivor of gun violence, one of her priorities in working with Moms Demand Action has been to ensure that residents with ill intent cannot get their hands on firearms.
