"Local residents recently gathered at Meadows Park in Pleasanton to raise awareness about gun violence and the need for sensible gun regulations as part of Wear Orange Weekend."


Sounds like someone needs their awareness raised. Violence is an activity, not an object. "Gun violence" is a propaganda term used by activists/politicians to portray criminals as victims and to shift the blame on to society (guns, law abiding owners) for "causing" crime/violence. The need is to expose this soft on crime reasoning as a failure.

Firearms (which have been around for years in this nation) do not cause nor commit acts of violence. Millions of people own guns/have permits to carry them and do nothing wrong with them. Moms Demand Action has no rational explanation for this. Wearing orange, writing messages with chalk, marching, etc. won't stop people from getting shot on the streets of Chicago, New Orleans, or St. Louis either.

Constantly repeating the word "sensible" over and over again does not mean the people saying it are. These are the same activists/organizations/politicians that spend more time and resources going after grandfathers with guns vs. the gang members with them. That should give you a hint as to what they really want despite their harmless sounding (and erroneous) "safety" claims. Anything not banned outright will simply be regulated to the point of being financially/legally prohibitive for the law abiding.
