FAIRFAX, Va., June 21 (UPI) -- About 20 protesters were arrested Tuesday morning after an all-night vigil outside the National Rifle Association's Virginia headquarters.

The arrests came after an overnight demonstration attended by about 100 people outside the Fairfax, Va., headquarters of the NRA. The group said they were there in mourning for the Orlando, Fla., shooting victims.

Those arrested sprawled on the pavement, surrounded by chalk lines indicative of dead bodies, as a tribute to the 49 shooting deaths last week at an Orlando nightspot. Other protesters held signs and used red paint to indicate blood.

The action was sponsored by Code Pink, a group known for its anti-war stance, and a coalition of social justice groups.

How much national (Democratic) media attention do all those killed and injured by illegal immigrants get?

These people were so defeated yesterday in the Senate. It was a total disaster for them. They may never recover.

Code Pink are just paid disrupters.

“We are trying to take away assault weapons.”

And every gun is an assault weapon to them.

Shouldn’t they be protesting in front of a mosque?

We are not trying to take away people's hunting rifles. We are trying to take away assault weapons.

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, stupid. It has to do with the right to bear arms and protect yourself and the ones you love. What do Sandy Hook, San Bernadino, Paris, Antwerp, and Orlando all have in common? The murderers were all stopped by Swat teams using AR-15 assault rifles. I often wonder how many lives could have been saved if "gun-free safe zones" didn't exist. Safe zones? Yeah, right...

If we had common sense civilian disarmament, we wouldn’t have terrorist attacks. Works great in Paris.

These bastards would never try a “die-in” outside of a mosque. They know damned well they would have their necks sliced.

The protest would have been much more effective if they had shot themselves to demonstrate the damage firearms can do.

"We are not trying to take away people's hunting rifles. We are trying to take away assault weapons."

For now ...

At least she's honest: she wants to take away rifles. I wonder if she has the guts to try it herself, or if she plans to hire government goons to do the job.

They'd be charged with a Hate Crime by Loretta Lynch and would spend years in jail.

She’ll get government goons to do it for her.
With GUNS, I might add.

The principle is easily understood, with reasonable mathematical certainty. The greater the ratio in favor of the law abiding citizens, between the armed law abiders, and the armed criminals, the safer the law abiding public. It is not difficult to understand, but the whole Leftist establishment gobbles the insanity of disarming the law abiders.

Is it a shame that the “Die In” was only make believe?
