The Newtown massacre was a turning point that changed the national discourse on gun safety. A group of non-partisan concerned citizens came together to create a March on Washington for Gun Control on Saturday, January 26. More than 100 residents from Newtown led the march. Most Americans, according to a recent Gallup poll, support universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds or less. The Children's Defense Fund joined thousands to call on members of Congress and state legislators to pass common sense gun safety laws.

e-Newsletter
This week I received an e-newsletter from The Children's Defense Fund. The e-newsletter didn't have any information on accessibility, availability, or affordability of early childcare education. It is however, calling for action for better gun safety measures. Their campaign is called America's Broken Hearts. Just since this Congress convened on January 3, an estimated 2,102 children and
teens have been shot. They are calling for us to help end this epidemic of gun violence.

This is a great purpose to stand up for; in regards to protecting our young children from gun violence. The issue seems to have gotten out of control and I never realized how easy it was for people to have access to guns and other violent weapons. Children seem to be the victims of gun violence; for example the Newton massacre, as you stated in your blog.
