It was an ice cream cone that brought Joseph Allen from New Jersey to the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday morning, where he was singing a song denouncing violence as he marched with hundreds of other parents and children to demand stricter gun control laws.
Mr. Allen mounted the bridge for the march, along with a group of about 200 people, by some estimates, drawn together by a social media campaign begun by Shannon Watts, a mother from Zionsville, Ind., who founded One Million Moms for Gun Control after shootings at a Connecticut school.

In related news, hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of Americans attended gun shows across the country this weekend in what can only be described as unabashed opposition to the left's gun control agenda.
Also in related news, a record number of firearms sales were reported this weekend.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Let’s get loud and bombastic like Cuomo!
>> where he was singing a song denouncing violence
I wonder if this ne’er-do-well parades against abortion.
How ironic these naive imbeciles took to the bridge more known as a joke..
Allan sounds like a fool.
Allan sounds like a fool or a fabrication.
The population of New York City is roughly 8.5 million people.
A “crowd” requires more than 200 people, most of whom were probably curious bystanders.
200 people?!!!
In NYC?? Holy Wow!!!
> 200 people showed up for the million moms for gun control march. Wow!
Yes but it got MSM coverage and may balloon as a movement. Remember MADD? It started with one woman who lost her hilt a drunk driver and made puishment and fines for DWI’s significantly more expensive.
Anti-gun control supporters need to rally and expose the majority of mass murderers within the past 20 years have been Democratic mentally ill and/or youth on psychotropic drugs, show the real reason to bear arms is from tyrrany, that the 2nd Amendment was drafted in the manner it was to deal with devious tyrants, and give them a history on tyrants that disarmed their people andt the outcome - oppression. The radicals fear one thing - the truth and that it will expose them for what they and their actual inentions are

Expose the real truth; that Obama has always wanted gun control (omplete disarmament) and had been waiting for the perfect opening to enact hisplans or gun control and that the Newtown children are merely being used as tools to get the job accomplished. Spell it out and the truth will really hurt.

Also show the good guns do by preventing crimes and in capable and mentally healthy adults they pose no threat.

ON the million moms were only able to find 200 people in NYC to protest gun violence. Meanwhile, thousands showed up at state capitols and gun stores in every state on Gun Appreciation Day.
I’ve never met a liberal who understood the concept of “stupid” and how to stop being it.
;)
Just ban everything d@mnit!
But still by today’s standards, not much, compared to the “gun appriciation” day crowds, read somewhere up to the 1000’s.
Just what this Texan fears the most! A bunch of damned yankees on a bridge holding a cluster ....
Go home. You have children to care for...
Times must be really tough if the rent-a-mobs have to lay off people.
Imagine if he’d had sufficiant protection from those little punks. One of them might have been in the ER and have had a second chance and maybe turned his loser life around instead of continuing on a life of crime. No telling how many those punks have injured or worse in the past several years all because this guy had nothing but an ice cream cone.
