Male lawmakers wore pearls to 'mock Moms Demand volunteers' as constituents testified about 'gun suicides and domestic gun violence in their families' in tears, said activist Shannon Watts.
Lawmakers sparked controversy by wearing pearl necklaces as they listened to activists share stories of gun violence at the New Hampshire House of Representatives on Tuesday.
Activists from Moms Demand Action were describing their experiences of gun violence at a hearing for a “red flag” bill that would help restrict firearms access to people deemed to pose an immediate risk to themselves or others, the Post reported. Watts published photographs of the hearing online in a post shared by more than 3,000 users, including survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
The pictures prompted outrage among other social media users. “I had to double check that this was in our country. Where legislators mock constituents,” wrote user Sandy Griebe.
