WASHINGTON — Thousands of people, many holding signs with names of gun violence victims and messages such as "Ban Assault Weapons Now," joined a rally for gun control on Saturday, marching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.

Participants were led by Mayor Vincent Gray and other officials Saturday morning, and the crowd stretched for about two blocks along Constitution Avenue. Police blocked off half the road.

About 100 residents were expected from Newtown, Conn., where a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six teachers at a school in December. The rally was organized in response to that shooting.

I was listening to sound bytes from this march and the anti-gun crowd really gagged me. No common sense. No sense of the history of this country. :tsk

The same amount would probably assemble in support of drivers licenses and tuition for illegals with no restrictions whatsoever. 2 states just did - giving illegals drivers licenses - with resounding applause. Colorado just voted in-state tuition for illegals.

Several states just voted legalization of marijuana. Apparently they're now having some problems with stoned drivers. Go figure.

A similar sized march would probably assemble demanding gays be allowed to marry. Even among Christians.

I could go on.....

Frankly I am not exactly trusting of the wisdom of my fellow Americans right now.
