A group of GunControlToday members attended a showing of a video “Armor of Light”.  This movie describes the unbelievable relationship between religion and gun violence in this country. It also demonstrates the power of those impacted by gun violence to influence others to act and support efforts to pass legislation to prevent gun violence.  The work is not done but this film provides a powerful insight into some of the forces involved in this critical issue.  This video was presented by the Wilmington Faiths Against Gun Violence group.  My appreciation goes out to their efforts.

Today I signed a petition to Mayor Bill Safo of Wilmington, NC to request him to declare June 2 Gun Violence Awareness Day.  Be sure to wear orange on June 2 to support this effort to increase awareness of the tragedy of gun violence we experience in this country every day.  This can be prevented but we need legislation to help.  Encourage your elected officials to pass gun prevention legislation.
