Forty hearty souls and two snowmen protested in front of the NRA headquarters in Fairfax on Monday, Jan. 14. Neither snow, rain, heat nor ice has stopped this monthly vigil which began seven years ago immediately following the massacre at Sandy Hook, Dec 14, 2012. The vigil is held the 14th of each month in memory of the victims of Sandy Hook and of all the victims of gun violence. It will continue until there are common sense changes like universal background checks, banning bump stocks and keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.

Next vigil—Valentines Day, Feb. 14, 2019. Sponsored by: Reston Herndon Alliance to End Gun Violence, Concerned Citizens Against Gun Violence, Brady Campaign Northern Virginia, Virginia Coalition for Gun Violence Prevention and Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
