I noticed in last night's headlines, a group of high school students in the Washington D.C. area protested gun violence by having a "lie-in" at the White House. They lay down on the ground for a specific amount of time, to make their point.
Signs being held up by protesters at various locations had these messages, among others:
You work for us, not the NRA
Am I not worth more than NRA $ ?
Enough is Enough
Let Our Voice Be Louder Than The Guns
Lives Over Guns
------------------- [excerpt / article] ----------- Following the lie-in, protesters continued to hold signs in support of stricter gun laws and shouted phrases including "Shame on you" and "Disarm hate" toward the White House. The group also chanted "No more deaths," "Am I next?" and "Hey, hey, NRA, how many kids have you killed today?" [HuffPost]
The teens were not alone in their protest -- at a town hall meeting in Colorado, a photograph showed a woman in her fifties or sixties, holding up a sign which read,
Save Our Children
Control Guns
No NRA $$$
Another sign read, "Protect Kids Not Guns"
