7:43 am
7:44 am
7:45 am
good morning. and welcome back. we have a nice day on tap for today temperatures will be dropping off as we get into your bay area saturday. even cooler sunday. i have details with the numbers coming up. 7:45. gun reform rallies are planned across the nation today. dozens of people. maybe thousands calling on congress to end the summer recess and work on safety. founder of the group said she is expecting rallies throughout the state. it has since become one of the largest grass roots movements on gun violence. joining us is a volunteer with moms demand action. you have been part of the group for four years. and tell me about why you want to be part of it. >> well, obviously i was
7:46 am
devastated by sandy hook. and after that, i thought, well, change will happen. and it didn't immediately. and when i really felt i needed to get involved, there was a shooting at the community college. and i heard about it on the radio and thought, so tragic. and within an hour, i had processed. and i realized i was having to do something. so i looked into moms demand action. they're a great group. they focus on evidence-based solutions. >> how big has this group gotten? >> you're expecting 600 plus. tell me about the membership. and really, is it all moms? is it everyone else? and really where do you think
7:47 am
it goes from here? >> it's definitely not all moms. we have members of every age. we have men. the motto is sort of like mothers can drive it. we now have 6 million supporters. we have a chapter in every state. we are part of the every town organization. so every town presents. and we are the grass roots. >> any time we talk about guns, it gets political and partisanship. and is that how you see it? is this a focus -- i many, a lot is spent on apps. i think all the laws i read were republican lawmakers. do you think this is partisan going forward, because it is one of those issues that tends
7:48 am
to falsely divide people. and how gun control should be handled or not hammed. very, -- handled. very, very passionate. >> our group is nonpartisan. and so what we are focusing on is lawmakers and people who are specific looking to do something. i think this has become less of a partisan issue. we now have the movement. many gun owners are involved. and they really want to see common sense done regulation. so i think as the number of tragedies and the magnitude of the gun violence becomes so front and center. it's really there are members of the republican party who are advocating for these laws. >> so do you think? i mean, the rallies begin. go back to work. stop taking your break. go back to work.
7:49 am
because the idea is the less we're talking about it, the more time changes. if we stop talking about it for even a minute nothing will be done. do you think something will be done? when there's another shooting, i think there is frustraise -- frustration amongst people we interview who say, nothing will happen. there a sense of stalling out. dow feel like you had that same concern you had you know, back many years ago, that nothing is going to change, even though people are rallying? >> absolutely not. i have seen change happening. you know, a lot of people think that nothing is happening because the focus is at the federal level. we do now have some movement at the federal level with the house passing the initial background checks. but i have also learned a lot of progress is being made at the state level. it might be small things.
7:50 am
