[B]Gun control rally draws[/b][red] four [/red]

[i]There was a time, three years ago this past May, when the cause drew a crowd.

Hundreds of thousands of activists, joined by the influential likes of Susan Sarandon and Rosie O'Donnell, standing together on the Capitol lawn, wearing T-shirts and pink ribbons and photo buttons of lost sons and lost daughters.

The Million Mom March against gun control burst onto the scene with a nervous vengeance. And what a story it was. A young suburban mother, a
part-time staffer on David Letterman's show, saw something on the news -- in this case, a photograph of preschoolers being led from their day care after a gunman broke in and began shooting -- and it turned out to be the straw.

She booked the National Mall for Mother's Day. Her emotional movement was met with coast-to-coast relief.

Sisters of dead sisters, movie stars, a politician or two -- they embraced the          cause because the timing was right. Columbine. That day-care shooting. The little boy in Michigan who took the gun to school and shot a 6-year-old girl. But that was then, and this is now. Last week, the Million Mom March had a shindig on the front steps of West Palm Beach City Hall to commemorate national ASK Day, a day designed to remind parents to ask whether guns are in the houses where their children play.[/i]

I sent her an E-Mail.  One Dinnar (or what ever is being used for currency in Iraq) says she won't send back a coherent reply.
