TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - A bus tour intended to draw attention to gun violence stopped in Tallahassee on Friday.
The Vocal Majority Bus Tour came to Cascades Park to encourage people to speak out if they oppose the current gun laws.
Former U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband astronaut Mark Kelley are leading at the forefront of the tour and fighting for a cause that's close to their hearts.
Giffords miraculously survived after being shot point-blank in the head five years ago in Tuscon, Arizona.
She and husband did not attend Friday's event. Instead, Mayor Andrew Gillum and State Representative Alan Williams shared their message.
"Florida can be the leader on this if men and women of good will, Republicans and Democrats and independents, band together and say we can do better around gun control laws," said Williams.
The vocal majority bus tour is scheduled to run for six weeks and hit 14 states.
