13. Not all that many praying there

"In 2016, the disparity in size between the two groups was even more glaring. The NRA’s attendance surged by more than 10,000–to an excess of 80,000 attendees–while Moms Demand’s attendance fell to what The Courier-Journal described as “around 40” gun control proponents."

Last year she had an estimated 140 to 150 people with her.

So, what happens when you get 40 dedicated gun control supporters together, backed by a billionaires checkbook?

Answer: Absolutely nothing.

Boy, that is a big drop for her over prior year's attendance and she even had a "big movie" to premiere this year.

80,000! That's a big jump up for the evil NRA.

How can that be, since everyone agrees we need more gun control?
