March for Our Guns was a series of rallies by gun rights supporters held in response to March for Our Lives.
The March For Our Guns rally held in Helena, Montana on March 24, 2018 included families and men who enjoyed hunting, supporting the rights of people to own guns for defense, and the idea that people should be educated rather than thinking guns are dangerous. Other related events took place in Utah and Idaho.[1]
A rally in Washington, D.C. attracted about 1000 people to the Trump International Hotel. From there, participants marched to the White House.[2]
Aidan Jackson, who belonged to the Virginia Beach Young Republicans, planned a rally for April 21, 2018 at Mount Trashmore. He participated in a walkout at his high school but held a sign saying "Gun control is not the answer," which another student damaged as other students applauded.[3]
