PORTSMOUTH — Janet Groat is so passionate about gun sense she said she could spend the whole day talking about it.
The Portsmouth woman recently started a state chapter of Moms Demand Action, a national organization that started Dec. 15, 2012, a day after 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members in a mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Their mission is to create a culture where laws and business policies reflect common sense and are not just the result of political posturing, Groat said.
Nationally, eight children die from gun violence every day, according to Groat.
“My son is shocked that there are many states where you can be blind and still own a firearm,” Groat said. “Children aren't thinking about constitutional ideology. They are thinking about what makes sense.”

I agree. However I was only commenting that her numbers show nothing of statistical significance, even at the 8 per day.
Even on a yearly basis the % of population is .19X10^-6%. That is meaningless. More children, even by her definition, succumb to other ills (e.g., cancer) than that.
Even then, I doubt the numbers, too.
I wonder how many of these moms would simultaneously fight tooth and nail for the ‘right’ for a woman to poison, dismember, and ultimately murder her own child.
I bet quite a few.
I agree. They make up the data they need to use.
Brilliant! Let's let children run the country.
How about we start out with a little trial run...let's have your kid run your household.
I think there are two kinds of gun-control advocates. One are the useful idiots, who don't really know the facts of the issue, and the others (usually politicians) are power-mad tyrants with genocide in mind (Obama, Feinstein, Schumer, etc.).
Well ... you said you didn’t believe it.
In fact, you were right not to believe it. Her definition of “children” goes up to age 22, and therefore includes people legally able to join the military, drive a car, marry without permission, purchase firearms and ammunition, sign contracts, purchase and consume alcoholic beverages ...
IOW, she’s calling adults “children” in order to make a political point.
She’s lying.
How come women can say things on this level of stupidity, and not be humiliated by it?
Wholly agree with that.
Sounds like a great name for a MILF dating site....
Such women feel no humiliation. Their ignorance goes as a laughable example, to those who are not ignorant as they are, but these women are incapable of sensing their own stupidity in order to be humiliated. It is a trait of the liberal mind ...
“..Janet Groat is so passionate about gun sense she said she could spend the whole day talking about it. ..”
So am I.
That’s why I became a Firearms Instructor. So I CAN talk about it all day - and educate MORE folks about their right to own and carry. It’s common sense TO have a gun!
People like this idiot broad make me sick.
Put her on the national news, the NRA can always use a few more million dollars and a few more hundred thousand members!
“gun sense”. You know, what the Weimar Republic applied, that allowed Hitler and the Nazi to disarm, torture, and then murder millions of Jews.
What women said similar?
MILFs are great.
Apparently the local moms haven’t participated in the Knockout Game yet.
How come what “local moms want” is always exactly what International Socialism wants?
"Janet Groat of Portsmouth and Melissa Wolfe of Brentwood joined 200 other people from 30 states as part of the National Stroller Brigade, which held the rally at the U.S. Capitol. The mission of the National Stroller Brigade — which has held rallies in 30 cities in the past few months — is to persuade Congress to pass the Safe Chemicals Act, a measure currently in the Senate that would replace the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976."
