2. The right-wing gun lobby

says that these people "don't count" because they are such a small number, and crime rates are falling. The NRA and its apologists fail to realize that to the families, friends, and neighbors of these victims, their number is not "small" at all.

Support a gun control organization of your choice and help us to address the gun violence epidemic in this country today. Help us to fight the right-wing gun lobby and the insidious grip of the NRA over our politicians in any way that you can.

8. That is a real photo. The gun toting yahoos stalked the ladies and stood out in the parking

lot. 15 armed men, stalking 4 ladies is only acceptable among gun fanciers, including DU's Gungeoneers.

Just because you don't like the angle, it is not photoshopped. Those are gun fanciers intimidating unarmed people, like toters do. I expected you guys to show your true colors.

In the meantime, pro-RKBA forces field thousands at a time in protests against draconian gun laws.

11. You just failed to mention that the vast majority of pro-gun protesters are bigoted,

ignorant, white wing tbaggers. Not something to be proud of, you'd think.

20. Is it accurate to describe this group of Moms as a "potent" group, as compared to pro-RKBA groups?

Is it accurate to point out that pro-RKBA protests have outnumbered those of the Moms group by roughly 100 to 1?
