FORT WORTH — Outside of the Texas Democratic Party Convention two booths representing views that often pit two political parties against each other.

They set up side by side, symbiotically advocating for gun rights and gun control.

Kristy Hill says she's able to have deeper conversations, explaining what drives her and others involved in Moms Demand Action.

"It has gotten a lot of people tweeting and posting," she said. "Just so we could get the word out about all of the work that we are doing."

She's highlighting talks slated for next week at the State Capitol, while Odie Hitt with the Texas State Rife Association explains the importance of responsible gun ownership.

"We have a lot of gun owners here,” he said. “They are Democrats, but they are gun owners, hunters, that type of thing."

Hitt tells visitors why the Texas State Rifle Association opposed a law last year that would have allowed a judge to confiscate firearms from a person who poses an imminent safety threat, the so-called flag laws.

On the main stage, dozens of children ask delegates to change gun laws, to prevent school shootings. That's also the mission of Waed Alhayek.

"I was a victim of gun violence,” she said. “I was held at gunpoint when I was seven years old at a convenience store."

Inspired by the students of Parkland Florida, Alhayek is campaigning for candidates who support universal background checks for all gun purchases, a measure several Republicans say they'd support, but haven't yet.

"We are here to make sure things get passed and we are here to make sure that you feel safe again” Alhayek said. “It is incredibly important, and it is impactful as well."

The Democratic convention ends Saturday.
