So-called Moms Demand Action likes to brag about its activism. But we don’t hear much bragging after the organization, which pushes gun bans and restrictive laws that would curtail the rights of law-abiding Americans, only mustered about 150 protesters at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville.

According to a report at Breitbart.com, Shannon Watts, public relations professional and alleged “leader” of the group (the funding actually comes from billionaire Michael Bloomberg), told the tiny gathering: “Together we are shining the spotlight on extremist polices that the gun lobby used to pass in the dark.” Considering a bit of mathematics reveals only two Moms Demand members for every 1,000 NRA members in attendance, it seems they actually shined the spotlight on the fact that most Americans oppose the gun-ban group’s extremist agenda.
