Indeed, keep marching in favor of gun violence, ye hundreds. You are the ones causing the loss of your children.

PS. The AP recycled their headline from last year.

More children die every year by being aborted than all the gun fatalities over the last 100 years.

If Hillary wins she is going to make strict gun control the hallmark of her Presidency. And she will dare Ryan to try to stop her... If he’s still around.

No pics.

"Hundreds."

Bet it took an hour, twisting the common core math for all it was worth to get that number.

a lot of their “loved ones” would still be alive and well today if there weren’t “gun laws” in NY

but these poor folks (and Soros=-funded “activists”) are too stupid to see the obvious

said the group’s founder, Shannon Watts. …

Anti-Gun Activist Shannon Watts Isn’t Who She Seems to Be

In the video, mommy Shannon was seen walking in the park with some of her anti-gun mommy compatriots and a couple of beefy looking, suit and sunglasses wearing men. Who were the men? Turns out they were Ms. Watt's armed security. Armed with guns? Yep, armed with scary guns.

...

She has actually been a public-relations/communications executive for a couple of decades. The Huffington post wrote that she has been Susie homemaker for the last five years, but her own LinkedIn account states that in December of 2008 Susie homemaker founded her own public relations agency.

Interestingly, devoted wife and mommy of five doesn't use the last name of Watts.

Unless one searches the name Shannon Troughton, one will not find out that mommy Watts started the agency.

PR Newswire reported in December 2008: "Shannon Troughton, most recently the Vice President of Corporate Communications for WellPoint, the country's largest health insurer, announced today the launch of a new public relations agency, VoxPop Public Relations, LLC. 'My goal has always been to start my own agency because I enjoy all aspects of helping companies increase their profile while protecting and enhancing their reputation,' said Troughton, president of VoxPop Public Relations. 'My experience in government affairs, agency and corporate public relations will be put to good use for my clients, which I hope will span a variety of industries.'"

Nowhere in the newswire report was the name Watts mentioned. Prior to founding her own agency, Ms. Troughton (mommy Watts) had been a heavy hitter at WellPoint health, GE healthcare, and even evil chemical giant Monsanto.

Someone needs to force the FBI & CDC & locals police to report firearm crimes using legally obtained firearms vs illegally obtained ones. That would shut these idiots up once and for all.

“More children die every year by being aborted than all the gun fatalities over the last 100 years.”

And you can bet that EVERY ONE of those marchers are all in for “A Woman’s Right to Choose!”

CBS some 25 years ago had a great series called ‘’Brooklyn Bridge’’ on Saturday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern, but the American people had other things to do.
