It also stands to remind us that the million moms who march this coming Sunday for common sense gun laws, like handgun licensing and registration, that will increase our safety and prevent gun violence in our communities.

This started in my family room and has grown to a mantra across the nation. There is nothing more powerful than a mother's drive to protect her children. Mothers across the country are harnessing that energy, and it is their passion that will have the impact here.

Never organized anything more complicated than a car pool.

The wall, and the sponsors of the Million Mom March, stands in memory of the more than 80 Americans lost to gun violence every day in our communities.
