If you attend an event as a member of Congress then you had best be comfortable with the sentiments that will be expressed at this event. in the event someone says something you are uncomfortable, or flat out disagree, with then you had best express this asap. I have yet to hear any Democratic member of Congress state that the NRA does not have the blood of children on their hands, that the NRA is not a terrorist organization, that they don't know what is best for us, that they aren't going to take a mile if the pro gun side gives and inch or that members of the GOP are the NRA's *****. Like I said earlier, if you're content to follow the flag carried by these kids then be prepared to take the missteps they will inevitably make and own them.
Serious question, do we know of any lawmakers that were present for the speakers from that rally? I know some showed up to photo-op for the marching, but I don't even know who or if any were at the main event of it all.
Overall, I've seen and heard a lot on the left talking about gun control since Parkland and the discussions would all have passed the Overton test. That being said, I don't follow many elected officials other than my own. Mostly, these have been wonks, pundits, journalists, etc.
