First, while the Lobby Day Rally Crowd size is inconclusive(?), I've read that for estimating tight crowds, assign one person per 'Square Foot."
It was America on display!
Yep. There were a lot of people still back at the baseball stadium parking lot. When I heard a two hour wait for the shuttle, I walked 3 miles there and 3 miles back. So did a lot of others.
Washington State just had a rally on Friday and our rights are about to be abolished this year. They’re banning just about everything, including standard mags, attachments, basically all semiautomatics, taxing ammo and banning online purchases of it as well as attaching background checks on ammo buys using California’s laws. Our hearings for all this start tomorrow. They’re even using ghost bills to get some of this through if some of the numerous others happen to fail, but there is a dem supermajority. They’re also deleting our state’s preemption clause and as of last year we have to waive our HIPAA private health record rights to buy any semiautomatic for yearly background checks for routine confiscation. They have also attached a statewide gun registry to these other bills. We need political/peaceful rally support or we lose it all this year!
From The Comments of video posted at bottom,
More armed and armored citizens showed up than the entirety of the Virginia National Guard. On a whim, we showed that we are both more disciplined and WAY better armed than they are. The sleeping bear showed its face, and they didn't want to play anymore.
And they picked up after themselves too. The place was left cleaner then when they got there.
I don't believe it was only 30,000 patriots. The media never reports the real number. It was much closer to 100,000. I know what 30k looks like., and this was at least 3 times that. There was 20k just in that disarmed kill box, and 5 or 6 times that outside.
there was a stack of busses, bumper to bumper parked on both sides of the street from E Broad all the way to the 95 on ramp along 7th street. that was at noon when i left.
Indigo1138 Saw lady on RT say VCDL had hoped for 120k. She felt it easily surpassed that. From prolife activism years ago, we can never expect media basic fairness. But NBC had to at least use MASSIVE.
If there was 100,000 people, that means you mustered an armed citizenry larger than my home's (Canada) entire active military... maybe even our reserve as well

i was there, about 20-30k on the capital yard and another 100-150k in the streets. 7 blocks in every direction was shoulder to shoulder crowds. And from what I saw 1/3 of us were packing rifles.
I agree it was far more than that..buses couldn't even unload people were blocks away like 20k and at least that on all the buses..then some had to walk away from it because of room..
What most people dont see is that is the foundation of this. As a society we allowed for a right to be treated as a privilege to one,and that made it a privilege for all. There are terrorist on our prisons who openly admit they committed their crimes because of their radical religious beliefs. Not only are they allowed to continue to exercise their religion in prison,you and I pay for the items they need to practice it. That's because we as a society havent allowed the government to restrict anyones rights to practice the religion they choose.
