I don't think being opposed to gun violence is the same as being anti-gun. I'm a gun owner so not anti-gun however I am opposed to gun violence, as I think most rational people probably are.

I'm sure there are people and 'news' sources that would interpret the flights as being anti-gun, however. We all see the world through the lenses we choose.
That's reasonable. And like Meme In Command said, choosing your airline by its political stance of the day is (IMO) foolish.

However the purpose of the D.C. March was a political call for more gun control, not less violence.

"The march had three primary demands: Pass a law to ban the assault weapons; Stop the sale of high-capacity magazines; Implement laws that require background checks on all gun purchases, including online and at gun shows."

"One of the things we've been hearing is that it's not the time yet to talk about gun control," [junior organizer] Kasky said. "So here's the time that we're going to talk about gun control: March 24."

Not sure why DAL felt obligated to provide free charters while claiming to be "neutral."
