Really? Good!  The more the better.  Better write/call/fax your congress critters.  I think this bill is in trouble.
Gov. Haslam, Mayor of Nashville, Mothers against guns in parks, etc. are against it, and lobbying hard.

Personally, I would not want the stroller moms to be defenseless against events like this:
