Guns are the number one killer of children in this country – and a group of Denver moms is banding together to change that by asking the governor to make a bold move and ban guns in Colorado.
The group is set on accomplishing something unprecedented. Here 4 The Kids said their movement isn’t a push for gun reform – it’s a push for a changed America.
The moms recently gathered with their kids in a Park Hill home to make signs to protest gun violence. One of the kids making a sign asked, “How do you spell dying?” …
“The executive order is asking Governor [Jared] Polis to ban all guns and implement a buyback program,” said Alyce Blum.
The group’s vision is grand, even daunting. How does a group of mothers think they can get the governor to take executive action on guns? Do they actually think it could work – banning guns in the Centennial State?
“Yeah, we get that a lot,” said Blum, as she laughed at the question. “I hear that it sounds out there. It sounds out there to me still, but I’m deep in the work, which helps, and I really believe with every fiber in my being that this is something that we can do.” …
Blum said right now, she actually owns guns. She said the planned sit-in and gargantuan ask of Colorado’s governor has changed her viewpoint.
“I’m willing to change my life, and my husband is too, and to say whether or not Polis signs this, we can get rid of our guns,” Blum said. “Not because we are the ‘bad people’ but because do we need them?”
