After the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun rally last Saturday, there were conflicting reports about how many people actually attended the event.

Researchers said 200,000 people showed up while the organizers insist there were over 850,000.

But the Washington Times now reports that that the so-called student led march, was not really a “student” march at all.

A research team from the University of Maryland attended the rally to take a look at the demographics of the crowd.

They found that most of the crowd was adults, with less than 10 percent under the age of 18.

They also found that many of the marchers were new to protests and were political moderates and implied that many of the students who did attend were just there to hear free music.
