Moms Demand Action for.... something other than common sense
From one of their spokeswomen: "Green said women and girls should be aware that lax gun laws lead to gun violence which can beget domestic violence."
Some 19th century wag wrote something like: "If a man engages in casual murders, next he will descend to excessive drink and pilfering, and thence sink to profane oaths and sabbath-breaking, and so become utterly lost."

A reference re: the "casual murders" quote would be appreciated.
Thomas de Quincy,
If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begun upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time.
Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts (1827)
What Mother's was trying to say is that lax gun laws beget street gun violence by men who want to be gangbangers because women love men who are violent (the recent NFL case being an example) which eventually results in the woman being knocked out in an elevator and dragged out like a sack of potatoes.
