Moms March In Raleigh, Urge Gun Law Reforms
RALEIGH (WRAL) -- Around 600 people turned out for a Million Moms March in downtown Raleigh Saturday to push for gun reform.
They gathered at the State Capitol to decry what they called "an epidemic of gun violence" in North Carolina.
Organizers read off the names of 94 children, age 17 or younger, who have been shot to death in North Carolina since 1999.
They placed 94 white roses in a basket to represent the slain.
The Million Moms have grown to seven chapters with thousands of members statewide since the movement began last year.
Members say they are not against guns but are for sensible, responsible gun ownership.
"We are very much looking forward to a time when we can send our children to school without fear of gun violence, that we can send our children to friends and relatives homes without fear that they will get their precious little hands on a handgun," says member Marcia Owens.
About a hundred people from Grass Roots North Carolina staged a counter-protest. They disagreed with the statistics that the Million Moms put out, but both protests were peaceful.

Go to the link. Notice how they have a nice shot of the flowers and all numbers are in numeric form except the amount of pro-gun supports from Grass Roots North Carolina. They have 7 paragraphs on million misguided moms and 1 on Pro-Gun supports. Also notice that the Pro-Gun support picture is of only 2 people leading you to believe there are very few on the pro-gun side.
I checked out some of the education on a few of the reports and most have 4 year degree in journalism and psychology if not higher degrees ( http://www.wral-tv.com/info/bios/ ). Makes you wonder. Lets see 4-8 years of college 10's of thousands of dollars so I can read a script on tv. Sounds like a power thing to me.
