Anti-NRA, pro-gun control #MarchForOurLives protests kick off in... London? [photos, video]

Today’s the day when anti-NRA #MarchForOurLives protests will take place in Washington, DC and other cities. But the marches aren’t isolated to just the United States:

We’re not quite sure what point this sign’s trying to get across:

Nothing makes a more effective argument at a “U.S. needs more gun control” rally in England than a picture of George Washington!
