Last month, actress Melissa Joan Hart retweeted Michael Bloomberg’s $50 million answer to the NRA — an umbrella group called Everytown for Gun Safety. Yesterday, she tweeted her support for mothers testifying on Capitol Hill as part of an event hosted by Bloomberg-funded gun control group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense:
I'm standing with the moms on capital hill today fighting to protect their children's right to live in a country with gun laws! #Everytown

Note the shout-out to Everytown.
This country already has gun laws, of course. Presumably, “children’s right to live in a country with gun laws” really means the right to live in a country with more gun laws, although Everytown is a bit vague as to the specifics.
Hart, a self-described conservative who says she “totally” supports the Second Amendment, has insisted “we can keep our guns.” Not all of her fans seem to agree, however:
@MelissaJoanHart The only gun law should be that they are illegal to possess
