A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA SUPPORTING THE ONE MILLION MOM MARCH
WHEREAS, In our contemporary society, the right to possess and use firearms is
bombarding us with mixed messages from various sources: there are those for whom the right to
possess, and use, firearms extends to openly using them against those whom they perceive to be their
enemies; the proponents espousing this view are almost certainly advocating anarchy. Others, just
as loudly, proclaim that firearms must be prohibited for all, with the exception of police and military
forces. Another, would permit licensed firearms for hunting, target shooting and for home
protection. Finally, another group, while close to the preceding one, would additionally severely
limit, and monitor closely, the manufacture, and sale, of firearms, and
WHEREAS, No matter what position, vis-a-vis firearms, we take, we are certain to bring
upon our heads the animosity, if not the hatred, of those in opposition; we are truly on the horns of
a dilemma; however, a positive step to resolve our problem has appeared. A nationwide group of
concerned mothers who are sickened by escalating gun violence, have organized a march in
Washington on Mother's Day, May 14, 2000, to demand strong gun safety legislation; they have
issued a call to all to join with them in order to make their presence felt, and show our government
that we have had enough of this blight on our nation: that UNITED WE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
NOW THEREFORE, The City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby resolve as follows:
To support the MILLION MOM MARCH
2. To urge all of our government representatives, both State and Federal, to join with
us in supporting this critically needed effort.
Furthermore, to urge these legislators to speak for us by disseminating our message
and demand to those who can provide the formulation, and enaction, of legislation
to accomplish the desired end.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED on this 61 day of March, 2000.
