Moms Demand Action is peddling gun control.
Are you buying?
If so, they’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn they want to sell you as well.
Michael Bloomberg spends $50 million a year on his gun control group Everytown for Gun Control and Moms Demand Action.
Each year, the moms host a march across the Brooklyn Bridge, trying to drum up free publicity. It’s not going so well.
If you had been there and blinked, you might have missed it. Even with a $50 million dollar operation, they could only muster three or four dozen participants in a city of 8.4 million.
To put it into perspective, we at Guns Save Life regularly turn out 150-200 people at our monthly meetings in a city of 83,000. Our biggest meeting to date has been about 325 people.
To put that into perspective: If our typical turnout (call it 2oo) – as a proportion of our host city’s population – had marched across that bridge, we would have had over 20,000 people present.
Americans don’t support gun control, by and large.
Then again, only 6% of Americans trust the mainstream media – and that’s less than the number of Americans (6.5%) who are seriously mentally ill.
It reminds me of the picture someone showed me from the State Journal-Register of the IGOLD rally this year. I didn’t go this year, but know it was cold and raining in Springfield. What’s the Moms’ excuse for such a pathetic turnout?

A good comedy prank on them crawling across the bridge would be someone driving by with a loud soundtrack of machine firing to see the
” steppin’ and fetchin’ ” going on the bridge.
I love the way they hold up picture-posters at the rear to make it look like more people when you glance at it. I wonder if those with their back to the camera are just people trying to cross the bridge in the opposite direction.
John, you should make a deal with Bloomey, For a measly half million dollars, GSL can probably guarantee a march with, say, a hundred paid anti-gun shills and a counter demonstration of three hundred or so pro 2nd Amendment civil rights activists. That would get him some temporary publicity and fund us at the same time… sounds like a win-win to me.
NBC (it was on at Dr’s office, I don’t watch the propaganda arm of the Dem party) said that there were hundreds of marchers. Less than 50 is a far cry from hundreds, but that’s why I call it the propaganda arm of the DNC.
Optic. It is all about optics.
I am not among that 6% who trust the media.
