Grieving Fathers No Longer Inspiring Gun Control Change

Friday, 30 May 2014 | by Pat's Picks

Richard Martinez has become the new face of the gun control movement in the wake of his son’s death at the hands of a gunman in Isla Vista, California. Arizona Republic reporter Megan Finnerty says he won’t do any good. She says the anguish of grieving fathers is no longer enough to move the needle on the gun control debate. Instead, advocates are turning their focus to economic pressure tactics and on changing gun laws at the local level.
