Wow!!! Gun Safety Advocates Protest At NRA Offices: ‘End The Murder’ ‘Stop The NRA’

More than 150 protesters rallied in front of the National Rifle Association’s lobbying offices nearby Capitol Hill, berating the group’s role in maintaining easy, unfettered access to firearms in the United States.


The NRA has been completely silent on the mass-shooting in Connecticut, even shutting down its own Facebook page. Meanwhile, 150,000 people have signed a White House petition demanding the president take action on gun control.
Attendees at Monday’s rally, organized by CREDO, held signs reading “Teachers stand up to gunmen but Congress won’t stand up to the NRA” and “ARMS ARE FOR HUGGING — GUN CONTROL NOW”. With chants of “shame on the NRA,” the group marched from Spirit of Justice Park to the NRA’s Federal Affairs Division, which is responsible for the organization’s lobbying efforts.
