Claims of 'huge' anti-gun protests were lies, says CCRKBA

A Brady Campaign news release headline claiming that "huge" crowds turned out across America for anti-gun protests on Tuesday was both false and misleading, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said this week.

"The biggest crowds reported were 'about 200' people bused to an event at Lake Barrington, Illinois, and another in Philadelphia. A Maryland protest outside a District Heights gun shop drew about 60 demonstrators, and one at Seattle's Green Lake Park attracted two people who spent 32 seconds lying on the grass. And this was supposed to be a 'huge' event? That gives a whole new definition of the term 'lie-in' that was used to describe this protest.
