These massive gun control rallies and protests hope to bring an end to the increasing gun violence and deaths so prevalent in today's world all across America.
The NRA doesn't realize one critical point - back in George Washington's day they didn't have automatic assault rifles capable of mass destruction and mortality.
Times change and we need to change our laws accordingly to help protect and serve our citizens.
Now if the NRA wants to defend the rights to own a single shot rifle, no problem, I will march alongside the NRA.

Steve- Thank you for being willing to speak at a time when it's needed, but not popular.
Clearly, regardless of where you stand on this issue, needed solutions cannot come about without healthy (that means polite, though spirited back and forth) discussion.
The very fact that it is taking our children, even survivors, to get anything started in this area, speaks volumes about the mess our generation has forced upon them.
I say this as a conservative with an open mind when it comes to the better good.
Leon - I hope my post doesn't cause this very vital thread to be blocked.
