Winnetka Resident Kitty Brandtner Creates Organization March Fourth In The Fight To Ban Assault Weapons
By J.P. Anderson | October 26, 2022 |
Spurred into action by the recent tragedy in Highland Park, Winnetka resident Kitty Brandtner has created March Fourth with the singular goal of successfully banning assault weapons—right now.
Winnetka resident Kitty Brandtner was celebrating the Fourth of July with her three children (all of whom are under 5 years old) when tragedy struck in nearby Highland Park. The 35-year-old had a realization: “I couldn’t live with this as our reality anymore. … My wheels started turning.” The result? March Fourth, an organization designed to channel fear and anger from tragedy into fighting for a federal assault weapons ban. As Brandtner and volunteers across the country continue their mission, NS caught up with the organization founder to talk about where things stand, and what comes next.
