CHARLE IN JUST A FEW HOURS, THE STATE HOUSES AND IT WILL CONTAIN -- CONVENE AND THEY WILL BE GREETED BY DOZENS OF MOMS. MOMS DEMAND ACTION VOLUNTEERS WILL HOST AN ADVOCACY DAY. ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS HERE IN NEW ORLEANS READ THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION A LITTLE BIT, ISSUES USE GUYS ARE FIGHTING -- YOU GUYS ARE FIGHTING? >> THIS IS THE LARGEST GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION ORGANIZATION AND THE COUNTRY. LOUISIANA HAS SEVERAL GROUPS, INCLUDING ONE IN NEW ORLEANS. WE ARE HERE TRYING TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE. OVER 100 PEOPLE DIE A DAY BY GONE IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE KNOW TO DO BETTER THAN THAT. WE ARE FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT, SENSIBLE GUN LAWS TO DO THAT AND THE BE SMART PROGRAM FOR GUNS. >> AS YOU HEAD OUT TO THE STATE CAPITAL, THERE ARE BILLS YOU GUYS ARE BACKING AND OPPOSING? >> YES, SO WE HAVE A BILL THAT IS OUT THE, THAT REPRESENTATIVE GARY CARTER FROM NEW ORLEANS PUT FORWARD, THE RED FLAG WAR. THAT MEANS, IF SOMEONE IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF HURTING THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE, THEY CAN BE KEPT FROM HAVING FIREARMS. THERE’S A LOT OF DUE PROCESS IN THIS LAW. IT HAS TO GO THROUGH A JUDGE. ONLY LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN DO THIS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE ARE SAFE FROM GUNS. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN MASS SHOOTERS, 51% SHOWED WARNING SIGNS BEFORE THE SHOOTING. WE KNOW IT CAN SAVE LIVES. GUN SUICIDE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY AND IN LOUISIANA. EATING ABLE TO REMOVE -- BEING ABLE TO REMOVE A FIREARM FROM SOMEONE WHO COULD HARM THEMSELVES WOULD REDUCE SUICIDE BY GONE. WE BELIEVE THAT’S ONE THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 14 OTHER STATES HAVE A LAW LIKE THAT. CHARLE ANYTHING THEY ARE DEBATING RIGHT NOW YOU’RE OPPOSED TO? >> THERE IS A BILL THAT EXPANDS PREEMPTION AND THAT BASICALLY MEANS CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES CANNOT PASS LAWS IN THEIR OWN CITY THAT ARE MORE STRICT THAN THE GUN LAWS FOR THE STATE. WE KNOW THAT CITY BY CITY, WE HAVE DIFFERENT GUN VIOLENCE ISSUES IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA. NEW ORLEANS IS DIFFERENT THAN, LET’S SAY ABBEVILLE OR CROWLEY, WHEN IT COMES TO GUN VIOLENCE ISSUES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT LOCAL POLICE CHIEFS AND MAYORS AND MUNICIPALITIES CAN CREATE THEIR OWN LAWS THAT MAKE SENSE FOR THEIR OWN MUNICIPALITIES AND STATES. WE DO NOT WANT PREEMPTION EXPANDED MORE THAN IT ALREADY IS. CHARLES: FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET INVOLVED OR SHOW UP TODAY, WHERE CAN THEY GO FOR MORE INFORMATION. >> TEXT 343-ACT AND YOU WILL GET INFORMATION ON LOCAL EVENTS IN THE AREA. WE ARE IN AT LEAST FIVE CITIES ACROSS LOUISIANA. FIND US ON FACEBOOK. GET INVOLVED. CHARLES: THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU’RE DOING AND JOINING US. I KNOW YOU HAVE TO HEAD OVER TO BATON ROUGE.
