Pro-gun counter-marches in DC, Utah and Montana

There's something wrong with anyone who wasn't moved yesterday, watching those kids.

But it should have been predictable there would be a handful of counter protesters out there, wrapped in the flag, "defending" the 2nd Amendment.

There were about a dozen in DC and another handful in Utah. In Montana, 300 showed up in a demonstration that they called "March for our Guns."

I guess the good news is that only a small number of people are willing to publicly make fools of themselves.

they have their right to be wrong. Think of the civil rights movement and how people look at the pictures of the protests and counter protests today.

But I support counter demonstrators and some of the things their saying too, but not all.

This is what democracy looks like and there is nothing wrong with it.

the 2nd. Amendment changed and the other was the 'Shield Wall Network', a white supremacist group, led by Billy Roper. Our stupid local TV stations decided to interview the idiot. He made some statement about how a bunch of crying kids on TV can't infringe on his rights.
