download a gun.wilson's blueprint was downloaded 100-thousand times before the state department got involved. at the time, the obama administration said it was a national security violation because people outside of the u.s. downlaoded the blueprints. but in june of this year.. the trump administration gave wilson the okay helen rosen/moms demand action it's a horrifying idea to me. the reason i joined and got involved with moms demand action is because i was horrified by the idea that my child and any other child i know could go to school and be gunned down at school on any random day. and that's why we are 4.5 million strong with members and volunteers throughout the country trying to stop gun dangerous laws.
