'Body Count' protest brings awareness to children's lives lost to gun violence

INDIANAPOLIS — More than 70,000 people are expected to be in Indianapolis this weekend for the National Rifle Association convention.On Saturday, the 'Body Count' protest drew attention to the number of children shot and killed in the United States.It’s a question on the minds of many in Indianapolis — as the NRA convention welcomed its second day of guests.

“I felt that honoring the children killed would give them a voice because in our society, so often kids aren’t given a voice. They have so much to teach us and so much to share with us," Organizer Mary Tuttle said.One in five American adults has a family member who died to gun violence, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation study.

The retired public school teacher recalls the fear and confusion in her student's eyes during active shooter drills.

Any statistics showing the number of people saved nationwide by a good guy with a gun? Why don’t we keep those statistics as well?

This is a lie. Look up how they classify 'children' to include ages 18 and 19. Majority of their 'children' are grown-ass adult thugs shooting each other.

Buttholes

The meaning of LIBERAL has changed. During the founding of America, liberal meant EQUALITY, liberty, free speech, a 2nd amendment. Today, Democrats are neoliberal SOCIALIST, want racist EQUITY, censorship, No 2nd amendment. Dems are now reincarnated socialist Nazis!

Did they name the obvious mentally I’ll that killed them… and the fact that they were all Democrats?

Protect kids with guns.

So, how many of these people were killed by NRA members?

All these negative stories directed at the NRA. Yet you’d be hard press to find many of its members involved in gun related crimes.

And zero of the 1600 assailants were law abiding citizens.

Died due to violence.

Guns are not violent. People are. Criminals do not follow laws. Gun free zones equal easy victim zones.

They should be doing outreach to troubled communities and supporting law enforcement instead of virtue-signaling about gun control.
