Tens of Thousands Rally Against Gun Violence in US
The Facts
Around 50k people gathered on Washington DC's National Mall on Sat. in support of the introduction of federal gun control measures after a recent spate of mass shootings in the US.
The "March for Our Lives" rally-goers made calls for legislation restricting the use of military-style weapons, and many vowed to reflect their opposition to inaction via the ballot box.
The Spin
Republican narrative
Despite rally-goers attempting to pressure Senators into eroding the Second Amendment, undermining Constitutional rights will not help protect any American from gun violence. The wave of recent mass shootings needs to be addressed but it is an issue of mental health, not gun control measures.
