Upcoming Columbus events to support sensible gun regulation (Photos)

As the national debate continues over solutions to gun violence, central Ohioans who support gun regulation are organizing to make their voices heard.

On Wednesday, February 24 at 7 p.m., Kelly Cameron and Julie Eichorn of the Columbus Chapter of One Million Moms for Gun Control will speak at Ohio Democratic Party headquarters, 340 East Fulton Street in Columbus.

Columbus residents hold a rally for gun control from 12 noon to 1 p.m. every Saturday at the intersection of N. High Street and N. Broadway.

On Saturday, February 23 at 11 a.m., the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence and One Million Moms for Gun Control (1MM4GC) are holding an All-Ohio Rally for Sensible Gun Laws at Columbus City Hall, 90 West Broad Street. Featured speakers will include 1MM4GC founder Shannon Watts and Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman.

"The Second Amendment does not make this an 'either/or' conversation," said 1MM4GC founder Shannon Watts. "Americans can own guns and be responsible; children can go to school and feel safe; and we can enact gun control laws and honor our forefathers."
