On the radio here in Quebec they said a bunch of local kids went to attend the march in DC as well. Canadians have a habit of crossing the border to protest american elections and policies that do not effect them. US Customs know this and have denied them entry in the past. Hopefully some were denied today too.
How wonderful of them to want to show solidarity with the US.
I saw that there were marches in Canada today as well.
“More than a dozen Canadian cities hosted marches Saturday to call for stricter gun control laws in both Canada and the United States, adding their voices to a global movement calling for change in the wake of a high school shooting that left 17 people dead in Parkland, Fla.”
Speaking OF - did any of the counter protestors get up off their lazy boy and show up?
There were a few here and there.
“About 30 gun-rights supporters staged a counter-demonstration in front of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., standing quietly with signs such as "Armed Victims Live Longer" and "Stop Violating Civil Rights."”
You know, your sacred Second Amendment contains some words which are rarely quoted by gun enthusiasts: "A well-regulated militia".
One could term guards such as you describe as "well-regulated militias". They certainly resemble that more than they do those miserables who persist in shooting up our schools and killing our children.
I'm not asking for "gun free". Where'd you get that idea. I'm discussing the analogy between murder by gun and deaths by obesity. One you don't have a choice in; another you do.
What choice you do have in not being murdered by a gun?
No one is trying to take away your guns, that's just another paranoid, delusional fantasy that is peddled by the NRA and the wingnut media. Sadly we live in a country with so many uneducated, gullible and easily fooled people that many actually believe this will happen.
