Activists, sympathetic parents, and those affected by gun violence in the past gathered to collectively grieve at the impromptu vigil. They chanted, lit candles handed out by advocacy groups, and pleaded for political action in the wake of the latest episode of gun violence to afflict the nation.
The shooting of a reported 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School left people looking for not just answers, but an outlet.

Jennifer Oko was among those who came to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to light a candle and call on the president to move gun control legislation. A New Yorker who now lives in D.C., Oko is the mother to a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old who are in kindergarten and first grade, respectively. She said she was torn as to whether to go home and see her kids immediately after work or come to the White House to attend the vigil. "I felt I needed to show solidarity," she said.

Is this surprising to you? I feel like right wingers live in a world all of their own.
There are plenty of Americans that are anti-gun, even though that position is a minority of the whole population.

The above is true but the distinction is that these things can only be forced into a killing role in a limited way. They have purpose in society other than making people dead.

Before there were "guns", people killed with rocks,blunt objects, or their hands. People will always kill. There will be no shortage of dead people, and innocent victims. You could wipe EVERY gun off this planet, and still have the staggering numbers of dead. Look to history, to see how people have been murdered. People kill people. Not the objects that they use. ANY object can be used. I bet you many everyday objects have been used to murder. Look at Pol Pot saving bullets, and using Plastic Bags to suffocate his victims.Stalin using the lack of food, to starve his victims.3.3 million dead by it!
Humanity will never be civilized. That's what people need to realize, and understand. I shall say Morals and Principles have been declining steadily. The World has become Desensitized. Tragedy's are the Norm. Its sad.
