There won't be a million people there. If it's a handful - it's not worth it.

Would I join a well organized LOUD march/Protest? You bet. And I own guns, I'm not crazy, my husband isn't crazy, neither of us is suicidal, they are locked up and we are responsible.

We need gun control now. There is no need (I know first hand) to walk into a school with a gun, or have that kind of ammo in your possession (the amount) at any given time. The chances of a home invasion of more than a few people is insane.

My husband is an Italian citizen - do you know what he has to go through as a former Italian Marine Tactical Sharp Shooter to keep guns in our home in Italy? And the limitations?

We need shit like that - and we need it now. The answering isn't arming everyone - it's curtailing the the violent and/or insane people from having access.

His/their cell(s) should also be lined with graphic pictures of these and other victims of this philosophy of guns everywhere. I have been saying for a while now that the NRA is the largest organized lobbying outfit for the MIC. "A gun in every hand..."
