** Million Mom March home page, in observance of domestic violence awareness month, tells visitors that “The gun industry markets guns to women, claiming that owning a gun is a feminist act and a means of self-defense. The fact is keeping a gun in the home does not increase the chance that any woman can defend herself, or ensure that an abused woman can protect herself from her batterer.” http://www.millionmommarch.com/home/index.cfm

Handgun owners should be required to undergo a thorough background check and safety training and to carry liability insurance before obtaining a license. All guns should be registered.” http://www.abanet.org/gunviol/monday.html

** Coalition to Stop Gun Violence tells visitors that November 5, 2000 Walk to Stop Handgun Violence in Boston will raise money for Million Mom March https://www.csgv.org/content/inthenews/inthenews_sgvwalk_9800.html.
