(CNN) It used to be that Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense In America, created the day after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, could count on maybe 20 people at their regular meetings. The mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida has changed all that. Now the group's leaders say they are scrambling to make room for 75,000 volunteers who have joined their ranks since last week's massacre. Instead of the usual 20 people or so at a meeting near Portland, Maine, 250 volunteers showed up. Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts says she is seeing a new generation of youth ready to fight for more gun regulations.
