Good on Caroline with here placard. Women's voices weren't on the agenda ... but Caroline was graciously allowed to carry a placard! Anyway, glad you spoke Denis.
The event was planned and organised by women.
Some appear reluctant to take a public stance against the shooting lobby - for reasons which are not entirely understood by me.
If you look at the full album of the rally (linked in this Blog), you will see lots of women present holding their banners and home-made signs.
Denis.
