Mock Cemetery Installed on National Mall as Senators Vote on Guns

More than 3,300 crosses, Stars of David and Islamic symbols were installed on the National Mall Thursday as peace activists created a mock cemetery to honor victims of gun violence.

Organizers said the number of markers was chosen to honor the victims of gun violence who have died since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

At 11:30 a.m., religious leaders -- including some from Newtown -- began a 24-hour vigil among the grave markers, a protest aimed at lawmakers as they began to vote on a set of new gun restrictions.

I bet the ACLU is having a fit. Maybe these liberals should put up crosses for all the babies planned parenthood kills in a month. Ted Kennedy has kill more people than my gun has.
