Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts criticized the NRA and tweeted for more gun laws before the number of casualties, injuries, and other facts in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting were even known.

Watts’s group, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, is a fellow gun control group with Everytown for Gun Safety. Both groups are funded by Michael Bloomberg.
