Conservative students in at least 13 cities across the country rallied for gun rights on Saturday in an attempt to counter months of protests from the student-led March for Our Lives gun control movement.
Organizers with the "March for Our Rights" planned rallies in Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., among other cities, on Saturday, expecting modest turnout compared to the large-scale marches earlier this year in favor of tougher gun restrictions. Newsweek reported about 250 people were attending the California rally.
Speakers at Saturday's events in Washington included NRA TV host Cam Edwards. Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.) spoke at the Chicago rally.
Counterprotesters overshadowed coverage of the Chicago rally, however, as thousands of protesters supporting gun control poured onto a city freeway, blocking traffic and completely shutting down a major interstate.

The school's student population is diverse as leaders Cameron Kasky, David Hogg and Emma Gonzales (pictured) often mentioned in the news coverage of the terrible shooting last spring and aftermath..

(28,057 posts)supposedly led by kids to counter act the March For Our Lives, has so many adults speaking for it. Is it silly of me to suspect that this is not a youth led movement?
