Yeah, I thought it was a mug's game for anyone to argue that there were fewer than 18 mass shootings several days or weeks after that count was done.

"Dozens of students stage ‘lie-in’ at White House gates to protest lack of gun control" http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national.......3829710 They are not going away. There will be a mass march in DC soon. It's not just about voting for politicians who will do nothing. It's about actually expressing the will of the people.

"In parts of Canada, Family Day (French: Jour de la famille) is a statutory holiday occurring on a Monday in February. In the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Saskatchewan, it is observed on the third Monday of February; in the provinces of Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the holiday is instead termed Louis Riel Day, Nova Scotia Heritage Day and Islander Day respectively. British Columbia (BC) observes Family Day on the second Monday of February. Two-thirds of Canadians live in a province that observes a February statutory holiday." For Heritage Day in Nova Scotia, it seems they honour a different individual each time around: http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascotia/......-day-off I never knew that before a few minutes ago, so thanks for posting and making me look it up.

What's Presidents' Day?
And are you saying this is a one-day protest? |

It's a National holiday today. Public schools are closed in the US. And mass demos in DC are often on the weekends.
Though I've heard no one suggest it, I have to say that mass truancy until some action is taken is a very interesting idea...

No one in the past has really wanted to solve the problem because it could be used to make political hay. But we had many, many opportunities to stop the Fl killer and nobody listened. Trump called out the FBI and some are saying he shouldn’t have, he made them accountable which needed to happen. Adding new laws will not help a thing unless they are followed.
I still say it should be more about the ‘why’ than the ‘how’ The Fl shooter had been trying to make a bomb and if he had not been able to get a gun, who knows. Tom
