Currently over 300 anti-gun protests planned across the US and Europe

June 11th will be the date of mass protests.
March for Our Lives, the student-led gun control advocacy group, is planning nationwide protests in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting, according to its website.
Driving the news: The protests will take place some four years after the shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, during which a gunman killed 17 people. That shooting led to the group's founding and preceded the organization holding one of the largest demonstrations in U.S. history.

What's really sad it that I don't even need to make a new sign since I can recycle the last one. This sucks!!!!,

(86,536 posts)That I can think of is that those who attend marches will be able to talk to each other about the first hearing and that may have an eventual impact on a number of levels.
Such gatherings are learning experiences with this one a couple days after the hearing allows for some individual digestion prior to having the opportunity to discuss with others.

People have made their minds up one way or the other on Jan 6.
