Gun safety advocates rally for distribution changes at Realco

Representatives from 40 civic and religious organizations gathered at the headquarters of Realco Guns on Tuesday to rally the gun industry to change their distribution practices.

The rally was part of the Do Not Stand Idly By (DNSIB) campaign and held as part of a nation-wide day of action on gun violence. Speakers concerned with gun violence in their communities called on the chief executive officers (CEOs) of the largest gun manufacturers in the country to release information about incentives, concerns or pressure they place on their major suppliers to upgrade their distribution practices, as well as any safety technologies they might be developing.
