Dumb-Asses - Half of the killings were with a knife - Gun control groups march across Brooklyn Bridge to demand action

Hang those self-righteous signs on your houses and cars; see if they protect you! m/r

Gun control groups march across Brooklyn Bridge to demand action | World news | theguardian.com

Hundreds of people crossed New York City’s Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday morning to call for an end to gun violence in the US, united by the rallying cry “Not one more”.
The slogan was inspired by Richard Martinez, whose son Christopher Michaels-Martinez was one of three California college students killed in a May attack that left seven people dead, including the shooter, Elliot Rodger. Immediately after the shooting, Martinez demanded lawmakers put an end to gun violence.
"We really had two messages today,” campaigner John Philp told the Guardian. “One was to get people to vote – that's an ongoing campaign – and the other message was to carry what Richard Martinez said: that not one more person needs to die from senseless gun violence."
Philp is the Dads Chapter leader of Moms Demand Action, which organized the event in conjunction with Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Everytown for Gun Safety and with financial support from former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
