Hundreds of people carrying photos of loved ones killed by gun violence marched across the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday to rally for stricter gun laws and chanted demands for action.

The fourth annual march, held on the eve of Mother’s Day, was organized by the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

“We are going to stand up and fight until our last breath because if we lose our children we have nothing left to lose,” said the group’s founder, Shannon Watts. …

Asspress is the truest of true believers, searching the globe to find people that agree with their communist agenda so they can report on them.

“Hundreds oh my”

I did not see a picture at the site. So we have to take their word for it which does not mean much.

I have this coworker who is always going on about taking away guns. He is willing to let me keep “some” but the “big ones” have to go.

I have told him repeatedly he will have to kill me to get my guns and I have invited him to come on over and personally be the one to take them away from me. Crickets.

I'd love to know how many of these tragic deaths are the result of a legal gun owner killing someone ?

So how are stronger gun laws going to help?

Yes, they are tragic...

If these brain-dead broads wanted to improve America, they all would have jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge.

thank you... I wish there was a national database that cited the familial relationships/links and/or alias' for folks. Hard to grasp the agenda without a scorecard.

Again, thanks

It’s the “wrong hands” that we need to be concerned about.
All of the recent shootings that weren’t jihad were nutcases.

No pics.

“Hundreds.”

You nailed it. Probably 150, with 20 of that being various members of the “press”.

In “flyover country”, Second Amendment supporters get that many to attend a Second Amendment day at the Michigan capitol.

The “gun control” movement is a zombie, propped up by an activist old media and propelled by Bloomberg money.

Here is a link that has video of the march. It has been skilfully edited to make it difficult to get a good estimate of the numbers, and cuts away after about a hundred have been shown in the view.

Hard to say how many shown at the speaking event are actual participants.

All the close up shots are taken to give the impression of numbers without showing real numbers.
