March for Our Lives organizers estimate 800,000 protesters attended the gun-control demonstration in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.

If they're correct, the event would be the largest single-day protest in the history of the nation's capital. The total is bigger than the inaugural Women's March, which brought 500,000 to D.C., according to the Washington Post.

The number doesn't include large rallies in cities such as Boston, Houston, Minneapolis and Parkland, Fla., the site of the Valentine's Day attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 people dead.

Organizers of the March for Our Lives rally had hoped to exceed the half million protesters mark. The Women's March, which took place the day after Trump's inauguration, is considered the biggest one-day protest in recorded history, according to the Washington Post.

1. This is spectacular

[world wide wally]

2. Think of how sad it is that our kid's Woodstock had to be an anti-gun rally

because they are sick of being shot.

3. That's so wonderful how many KIDS and

everyone who wants to help them.. got out there today!

4. They always undercount these rallies. That huge crowd shot of the mall that...

we always see of these rallies is spectacular but there's never a mention of the crowd on parallel street a block over that spills out from the mall.

It's often just as big. I attended the Million Man March and the 2003 No blood for oil march and that was the case at both of them.

IMO today's march was probably way over a million.
