Anti-NRA March: As Many Groups As People

This April 26, 2013 Fox News opinion piece describes a massive anti-NRA march organized by a bunch of different groups:
Participating organizations include Public Campaign, Occupy the NRA, CREDO, Every Child Matters, Moveon, United For Change, USA, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, The Other 98%, and We Act Radio.
The article has pictures showing what is says is generously 100 people, including reporters.  There is supposedly a vast majority of Americans who support gun control, but much of that support is for laws that are already on the books,* and much of the rest is very mild support.  Even among liberals (other than mainstream media employees) this support isn't spectacularly strong.

*Some years ago, one of the respected polling organizations in California asked Californians what sort of laws they would support.  They found a strong majority supported a ban on mail order sales of guns. At that point, it was more than 25 years too late to pass such a law, because the Gun Control Act of 1968 had already done that.
