Shattering the Silence Rally

SEE EVENT DETAILS
A gathering on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 1 p.m. at Lytton Plaza in downtown Palo Alto will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting and draw attention to the need for better regulations of bump stocks.

The public is invited.

The gathering, organized by students mainly from Palo Alto High School, is part of a larger national effort sponsored by Shattering the Silence. Shattering the Silence is sponsoring demonstrations, rallies and marches through the United States on both Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, which is the actual anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting.

The organization aims to “draw NRA politicians out of the dark,” to advocate for universal background checks and the federal banning of bump stocks.

On Oct. 1, 2017, the Las Vegas shooter opened fire on a group of concertgoers in Las Vegas, killing 58 and wounding 851. The shooter was able to fire more than 1,100 rounds by using a bump fire stock to make a semi-automatic rifle operate similarly to an automatic weapon. Sale of bump stocks is illegal in California, but legal in most states.

For more information about the Palo Alto gathering, contact Miles Breen, Palo Alto High School junior, at [email protected] or 650-683-0048.
