The Florida chapter of Moms Demand Action held a candlelight vigil Sunday to honor survivors and families impacted by gun violence. It’s an event that shows togetherness and for some people, they believe that is the only way to reduce gun violence in the area.
“I found purpose in the pain. I wasn’t given a choice to walk this journey, but I do have a choice to make a difference so I choose to honor my son with action,” Hobbs said. Katie Hathaway, a volunteer with the organization, said the purpose of gathering everyone at the beach was to empower others to speak up.
Thank you - This meant a lot to local survivors of gun violence. Oftentimes their stories and their loved ones don’t make headlines. It was a beautiful vigil honoring lives lost to gun violence in Jax and around the nation. Thank you. 🧡
The only people that support gun violence are criminals! Noone in their right mind support gun violence! 🙄🤦♂️
Guns aren’t the problem. 3 billion + guns in the US. If number of guns were the problem, we’d have more incidents. The background checks need deeper vetting.
A total waste of time. The problem is too many guns, and mental health goes wild. You can't get rid of the people, so the only option is getting rid of the guns. aaertt
That’s pretty much everyone in Florida that doesn’t own a gun so….
