These are more than the 'concerned moms' they want you to think they are. They've been at it a while. From this article we get this:

Columbine parent Linda Cuesta said she endured long, panicked moments after the shooting desperately looking for her son. During that time she bargained with God. If her son made it out safely, she'd go to work against guns.

Her son escaped safely, and Cuesta has found a cause.

"I used to be polite, and I tried to understand the need for citizens to own guns, to own arsenals," she said.

"I'm not polite anymore. I want the NRA out of this city and out of this state."

Among those opposing the statue were Emily Fuchs, who is a member of the city’s Fine Arts Committee and Linda Cuesta, whose child was at Columbine High School when two teenagers shot and killed 12 students and a teacher in 1999.

Okay, Fuchs, Emily and Cuesta, Linda. Any others for the list?
