Million-Soccer-Mom-Marchers Dusting Off The Old Sneaks

"On October 20 at noon, members of the Richmond, Virginia, chapter of Million Mom March will protest at the gun show to be held at The Showplace on Mechanicsville Turnpike in Richmond. Members will dress in black and lie down in front of the Showplace for three minutes. The number three is significant because one child or teen is killed by a firearm every three hours and every three days America loses the equivalent of a classroom of children as a result of gun violence.

2000 at the Every year, 30,000 Americans are killed with firearms and more than 65,000 are treated in emergency rooms with firearm injuries. That is the reason my family and I spent Mother's DayMillion Mom March (MMM) in Washington, D.C. That day we were among about 150,000 men, women and children of every race, creed and religion all united in one cause. That march began a tidal wave of action across the United States which resulted in a network of 75 chapters across the country. The Million Mom March is now part of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The chapters work locally but stand united in the fight against gun violence.

The Brady Campaign website states their concern about the loophole in the current federal law that allows unlicensed sellers to sell guns at gun shows: "The Brady Law, however, does not apply to the sale of firearms by non-licensees. Every year, there are thousands of gun sales without background checks by vendors claiming not to need a federal license because they are merely selling from their "personal collection" of guns. Many of these sales take place at gun shows and the problem has become known as the "gun show loophole."

One question, Million-Mommy-Moro...strike that...MARCHERS:

Who is doing all this shooting and killing and wouldn't it be more productive to send them to, and keep them IN jail as opposed to hassling us non-criminals?

Outrageous idea?

They're dangerous and too tough to mess with?

Here's a clue; Tough is as tough does, babes, but you ain't begun to see dangerous yet.

By the way and not for nothing, but do WE hassle YOUR garage sales?

Same broads who don't mind killing babies and screeching to the high heavens about the PRIVACY CLAUSE in the Constitution.

Ghastly creatures, all.
